2013 SMUHA Galley Building
Construction of the 2013 galley started on Monday 3rd September 2012. Brian Halcrow (2017 Jarl) was the galley foreman this
year. This is the first time the galley has been built in the new shed at Cunningsburgh, which was leased for the winter from the
Cunningsburgh & District Agricultural Society. Unfortunately Brian was off with a virus during November & into December & Kevin
Adamson suffered a detached retina at the end of September which left the galleybuilders team depleted. It is a credit to all that
the remaining galleybuilders completed an excellent galley for the 2013 SMUHA.
