Bridge of Weir Festival - Santa Sleigh

As the relaxation of restrictions progresses The Bridge of Weir Festival Committee will be becoming more active again, but with some significant changes. After many years of service Brenda Lethorn (Treasurer), Meg Gilzean (Secretary) and Margaret Dymond will all be standing down. Anne and Paul Matthews will also be leaving the committee. A huge thank you to ALL for the service and hard work committed. This still leaves a strong committee, but more people are needed to carry on the good work.

I suspect that Covid, and the hiatus in activities it has created, will leave us sadly wounded in many ways and possibly for quite a while. We may not be out of the wood yet at all, but we need to go forward as carefully as we can.

Christmas is hurtling towards us and Santa is already preparing his Sleigh for the tour of Houston, Kilmacolm, and Bridge of Weir. He will start his runs on Friday 3rd December and hope to finish, weather permitting, on 18th Dec. More details of this will follow.

The next meeting of the Festival Committee will be on Tuesday 2nd November, 7pm, at Hope Hall. We would welcome all who are interested in the Sleigh's outings to come along to the meeting. Also, all who would like to help on committee for other activities such as Gala Day to come along.
