Gullane Sports Development Trust supports Gullane Games week and looks forward to a week of sporting activity for locals and visitors alike. The week started with a tremendous turnout for the Golf yesterday morning with that being followed up by nearly 50 kids playing Hockey, Cricket and Football on Memorial Park in the afternoon. This shows the demand for kids sport in Gullane and what we can all achieve if we act together in the community to establish a sports hub for all.
A huge thanks to a no. of local businesses who are kindly allowing us to place collecting tins on their premises during the Open. In addition we will be collecting for the Trust at Muirfield Park (between the Park & Ride drop off point & the Entrance Gates) so look out for us and encourage anyone you know to come and say hello! The plan is to collect 8am- 10am & 4pm -6pm Thursday & Friday as well as 9am-11am & 4pm -6pm Saturday & Sunday. Also a massive thanks to Glyn Aitken for providing our very own Fundraising “Thermometer” which can be seen next to the Old Smiddy on the Main Street .
Only 2 weeks after distributing our update on the Trust’s Plans and kicking off the Fundraising the community of Gullane and surrounding areas have thus far raised an astonshing £10,000 via cash and matched funding i.e. work undertaken on behalf of the Trust without payment. A huge thank you to all who have contributed. Remember you can sponsor a square of the pitch by following the link on the website. We really appreciate any sum donated so if you can help please use the link to Make A Donation via JustGiving. We certainly are Making it Happen.
