Forfar Gala Week reached its climax at the Myre on Sunday with a busy programme for townsfolk and visitors.

The gala day was the culmination of a range of activities held throughout the town and organised in conjunction with Forfar Fairtrade Forum.

Fairtrade Forum chairwoman Jeanette Gaul said she was grateful to everyone who had supported the programme and local firm Guild Homes for continuing sponsorship.

Commonwealth Games shooting silver medallist Drew Christie performed the opening honours at the gala day, with displays including kick boxing, Zulu drumming and a variety of dancing displays ranging from belly dancing to the traditional Highland talent of the town’s Liz Low school.

Forfar band Around 7 were among the musicians who performed for the gala crowd.

The static attractions included displays by the Strathmore Vintage Vehicle Club and Tayside Classic Car Club, among them a striking piece of Forfar transport heritage.

A 1963 Foden articulated tipper which was once pride of the fleet of Forfar firm D Callander has been restored by SVVC stalwart Lyall Norrie and his son-in-law Ian Johnston and is once again turning heads on the roads of Angus which it helped to build half a century ago.

The start of gala week saw town congregations coming together to Sing Forfar’s Praises in the East and Old kirk in an event organised by Forfar Action of Churches Together.

The offering taken will support doctor Pam Cairns’ Free to Live Trust which is building a home in India for the children of women trafficked into prostitution.
