Coalburn Gala 2022

The first full gala after the restrictions because of the Covid epidemic. The weather on Gala Day, 2nd July, was reasonable except for a light rain shower when the procession was in Coalburn Road. Congratulations to the organising committee, Gala Queen Ava and her Court, and all the participants in the Procession.
