DALGETY Bay's 50th anniversary celebrations have been dealt a major blow as this year's gala has been called off.
In November, the Press told you that the gala was under threat because of a lack of funds and volunteers, and the organising committee has now made the "sad decision" to postpone the gala following a "shortfall in funds".
The hugely popular gala was set to be the biggest event in the town's Jubilee Year celebrations in 2015.
A statement released by the gala team said, "After much, much deliberation, the ‘small’ team of members of Dalgety Bay and Hillend Gala, have arrived at the sad decision that Gala 2015 needs to be postponed, due to a shortfall in funds.
"The current team have the passion, dedication and loyalty to the community, so we strive to carry on raising funds from now, and throughout the year, to ensure that the 2016 Gala comes back with a bang!” More in next week's Press.
