MANEA GALA 2025

REPORT

This year’s Manea Gala was a huge success. Blue skies and sunshine brought out the
crowds and kept everyone entertained right through till midnight.
The Gala Committee is a small team of volunteers who give up their time for free to put
on an event for the enjoyment of the crowd.

We must send our huge appreciation to everyone who attended and to all our sponsors.
Donations were received from:
FJS Services  Amethyst Hair Studio  K.E.Rolfe Family Funeral Directors of March
Manea Mobile Tyres Ltd  Wards Medical Services  Red Skips
Arkwood Developments  Jessica GrantFiona Wales  Kirby Kastles
Coast Transport Ltd  Anonymous donation of £200
Not forgetting the many stallholders and general public who donated prizes to the Main
Draw. These donations help us to continue to be able to keep Gala Day a ‘free to enter’
event.
We have many thousands of pounds in expenses to pay each year, which we have to
recuperate. For example, hiring in the toilets, the main ring attraction, PA system hire,
security cover and the sound system for the entertainment stage.
