Message Contents from the Team Welcome to the September edition of Gala Life, Gala’s favourite magazine. What a busy month ahead. Seems like only yesterday summer began, but already the nights are drawing in. So sit down and have a good read of all the things you need to see and do for September. In this issue we have a fantastic competition to WIN tickets to the Enchanted Forest Preview Night. In our regular features, Sheila Drummond’s Gala Garden looks at Autumn colour. Alan Clinch does some Stand Up Paddling, and I look at Sleep Myths. Willie’s Wonky Computer page highlights a scam that many of us are actually unknowingly falling for. So definitely read this if you are a mobile phone user. If you have been away recently and feel inspired to learn a new language then see our tips on page 53. We have updates from our local MPs/ MSPs and councillors, churches and local groups including the Gala Rugby – not long now until the world cup in Japan. Well, after all this reading you are going to need a well-deserved refreshment, and in Gala Life we have some great places to eat and drink any time of the day. So read on and remember to tell our advertisers where you saw them. At Gala Life we try to ensure our advertisers are all local and we can build a stronger community together.
