A donation to the Million for Manorlands appeal has been made from the proceeds of the 2013 Keighley Gala.

Gala committee chairman, Andrew Jackson, said: “Following on from this year’s successful event in August, which included the return of the procession after a year without it, we are pleased to be able to donate £700 to the appeal.

“We are looking forward to working with Sue Ryder in the future.

“We would like to thank all those people who collected for us in the procession, lined the route, came down to Victoria Park and generally made this donation possible.”

Other recipients of gala donations this year are Keighley Scouts Service Team, the Soldiers, Sailors & Airmen’s Families Association and Keighley Sea Cadets.

Mr Jackson  added: “While we recognise the gala is very much in a state of flux, we are working to make the changes needed to get back some of its past traditions, while at the same time looking to the future.

“With the continued help and support of the community of Keighley’ we hope to go from strength to strength.”
