There will be a social dance to George Meikle and the Lothian Band in the sports hall at Gateways School. Admission will be by ticket only, because of restrictions on numbers that can be accommodated.

The Festival Committee regrets the increase in evening ticket prices. This is due to an increase in catering charges
which can only be partially absorbed. The prices will be £12-50, £5-50 for those in full time education and £4-00
for juniors under 11.

Yours sincerely,

Jane Walford

Chairman, White Rose Festival Committee
