Summer Gala -
Saturday 25th June 2005,
1pm-4pm
St
Peter’s Church Centre, Lake
Lock Rd
This years Gala was the most successful ever, raising £2,550
for church funds. From the photo below you can see the large numbers of
people that attended and enjoyed the event, which took place thankfully
under cooler skies that the previous Saturday!
A highlight of the afternoon was the new café in the Church
Centre which was open for business for the first time.
Volunteers have been working for many months to get the café
ready: wiring, plumbing, plastering, decorating, and fitting the brand
new professional units and equipment.

The Gala was officially opened at 1pm by the Very Rev George
Nairn-Briggs. During the afternoon, the Stanley Starlights Majorettes
gave two displays of synchronised marching and baton twirling; the
Christine Popple School of Dance presented excerpts from their shows,
and at the end of the afternoon, the Normanton Dog Training Club gave a
demonstration of dog obedience, agility and ingenuity. The
Purple Jazz Band under the leadership of Julie West also entertained
the crowds throughout the afternoon.
The Grand Raffle was a considerable success and raised £990.
Thanks to all those who sold the tickets, and of course, those who
bought them.
We are particularly grateful to all the local businesses and
individuals who contributed the wonderful prizes including:
Gledhill’s butchers, the Spindle Tree, the Co-op store on
Lake Lock Road, Red’s hairdressers, Moss Chemist,
Kev’s fish shop, Lilac Beauty Salon, Patel’s corner
shop, Moohouse Stores, and the Thatched House. Thanks also to
John Janusz, the manager of the Co-op supermarket in Outwood who
permitted us to sell tickets there, and also thanks to John Walker the
milkman for providing the cream for the cream teas, as he has done in
previous years.
