West Pilton & Muirhouse Gala cancelled

The West Pilton & Muirhouse Community Gala, which was due to take place this weekend, has been cancelled.

In a statement on their Facebook page today, the Gala organising committee said:

‘The committee would regrettably like to inform everyone that due to some supplier issues the gala due to be held this coming Sunday will not be going ahead , this is obviously disappointing and we assure everyone it will proceed next year, bigger than ever..

We would like to thank , Julie at MYDG , the Centipede Project and North Edinburgh Arts for their continued help and support in the planning this year …

Our committee will be meeting next month to start 2014 planning , anyone wishing to come along to this meeting is more than welcome , details will follow …

Sorry once again , and we hope everyone has a great end to the summer … ‘

Last year’s community event, hosted by Forth One’s Grant Stott, was a big success – particularly as the longer-established Waterfront Festival in Forthquarter Park was cancelled – and organisers had hoped to build on that this summer.

It wasn’t to be, but there’s always next year!
