Brighouse Gala support

While we don't organise the gala we do provide useful support

The Gala field

Brighouse Gala happens in Welholme park each year on the last Saturday of June.

Preperations for our support start in March as we tour the businesses in Brighouse selling advertisment space in the Programme. Once agreed we agree the copy and artwork then pull it all together into the programme before sending to the printers.

On the day itself the Rotary club co-ordinate the ticket sales and checking on the gates as the visitors arrive

Updates will be posted on the 2 sub pages on the right.
