THE Crossgates Community Week comes to an end on Saturday with the 2015 gala day.

The week started with the fun run which saw many villagers getting their running shoes out and enjoying themselves.

There is the wheelbarrow race on Friday then it is on to gala day itself on Saturday.

The 2015 ‘Royal’ team in Crossgates are now looking forward to an exciting day. The Gala Queen and attendants were chosen at a special disco held in the Community Centre a few weeks ago and the 2015 Crossgates Gala Queen is 11 year-old Poppy Johnston.

Her princesses are 10 year-old Nicole Paltiel and five year-old Leyla Biggarstaff.

They will be very much the centre of attention as the village community enjoys the big parade and then a host of activities at Humbug Park.

Then later in the evening on Saturday there will be a a gala dance at Crossgates British Legion.
