The Cronton Gala Committee's aim is to raise funds to support community events. All funds raised by this brochure and other fundraising goes
towards future events including the Gala. Over the last 2 years we have run events such as Halloween parties, Santa's Grotto, Afternoon Teas,
Queen’s jubilee celebration, Easter Egg trail, run competitions such as the Scarecrow event and provided Easter Eggs and Biscuits for members
of our community. These are all funded from raffles, donations from the public and from various local businesses including Asda and Morrisons
who we are very grateful to, and by the Gala Committee, who all work on a voluntary basis.
The Cronton Gala committee are currently looking for volunteers
