Ossett Town Gala 2012
Preparations are underway for this summer’s gala to be held on the weekend of Saturday 7th and Sunday 8thJuly 2012. As last year we have an action packed weekend: as well as all the football action there will be a wide range of activities and entertainment such as food and drink, stalls, raffle, bouncy castle, speed shot, water walkers, bungee trampolines and the extreme slide (one of the world’s tallest slides at 55ft!!)

Ossett Town Gala 2011
Each year Ossett Town Juniors hosts its annual football gala. This year the gala took place on the weekend of 2nd/3rd July at Highfield School and was a tremendous success. Over a glorious weekend with non-stop sunshine (and a bit of wind on the Sunday!) over 140 teams took part in the annual tournament over the course of the two days – that’s 25 more teams than last year.
The football was top quality, the weather absolutely glorious and the kids really enjoyed themselves.
Organising a gala such as this is a tremendous task and we must pay tribute to everyone who helped – with all age groups pitching in to help it would be impossible to identify every individual who helped either over the weekend or in preparing for gala in the months running up to it – so a big THANK YOU to everyone who helped make it a fantastic success.
The gala is an important income generator for the club and helps to cover the essential running costs we have e.g. hiring pitches, paying league fees, buying trophies for presentation nights, buying equipment (footballs, goals, training equipment etc.) and professional coaching.
We also had some new attractions this year – bungee trampolines and water walkers. Hope you enjoyed them.
If anyone has any ideas for improving the gala further, please email us at ossetttownjuniors@gmail.com
