A GROUP of volunteers are looking for members to help bring back Barrhead’s much-loved Gala Day.

The main event in the town's social calendar hasn't run since a controversial decision was made in 2015 to stop running the day due to a lack of funding.

But the group is hoping to drum up enough support to restore the Barrhead Gala day to its former glory in time for summer 2020.

A spokesman for the group said: “We’re trying to get the Barrhead Gala back for summer 2020 and we’re looking for more volunteers.

“So far, we have got 14 members on our committee and that’s a strong number, but we need a lot more.

“We wanting to get it back up and running because it has been badly missed.”

The meeting is taking place between 7pm and 9.30pm on Monday, May 20, in the Auchenback Resource Centre and all are welcome.
