Gala Poem 2020

As written by our Keith Whitton – elected 2018 as our Honorary President.

Keith became our Honorary President following the retirement of Bill Angus and it now seems Keith like Bill is very adapt in the writing of some very nice poems.

Keith has taken the time out to pen this latest poem and very fitting it is indeed.

“Unusual times have taught us all
To pull together and now stand tall
We’ll work together , a village as one
Making sure our spirits are not undone

The “virtual” Gala will happen and we’ll still party
And enjoy the day- hale and hearty
As we approach this celebration
Please join me in preparation
Look to neighbours, family and friends
To raise a glass and cheer extend

On Saturday 27th June 2020
Our beautiful Village green should be filled but alas is empty
However we look forward to 2021
When once again you will all be welcome
Stay safe
Save lives”
