Buckden Gala 2007

Lashing rain and high winds meant that setting up this year’s Gala in Buckden had to be completed on the morning of the event itself.  However, perseverance and teamwork were rewarded with a good turnout and an hour or so of strong sunshine to finish the day off.  A full programme went ahead including children’s races and games, a photographic competition, cake, jams and craft stalls, and a coconut shy.  The National Trust and Yorkshire Dales National Park were also represented and the afternoon was enlivened with remarks from “Local Hero” Roger Ingham.  Musical accompaniment  was provided by the Lofthouse and Middlesmoor Silver Band whose presence did much to help preserve the Gala’s truly traditional flavour.
