Winners Chosen
Tonight, Blantyre Community Committee announced that EIGHT lucky children have been chosen to represent the Gala Royals at Blantyre Summer Gala on Sunday 16th June 2019.
For the last few weeks, Susan Lindner over at Bonnie Blantyre has been collecting local nominees and hosted an excellent random draw today which included many members of the community! You can see the live random draws on the Bonnie Blantyre page here: https://www.facebook.com/BonnieBlantyre/
These EIGHT lucky kids are going to be pampered on that special day with their names engraved in history representing our town’s gala. We promise these children will remember this fun experience for the rest of their lives.

Blantyre Gala Queen is Eva ELLIOTT (8)
Blantyre Gala King is Liam FORD (7)
