That the Parliament recognises that April 2024 marks 15 years of the Gala Life magazine, having started in January 2009 and publishing its first edition in April that year; notes that 12,000 copies of Gala Life, printed on sustainable forest-sourced paper, are published every month and delivered free to every letterbox in Galashiels, Tweedbank, Melrose, Darnock, Dingleton, Newstead and Clovenfords by a team of 27 young people employed to do so; understands that the magazine provides on average 50 free slots each month for local clubs, groups, societies and churches to publicise themselves and make announcements, in addition to having supported over 500 advertisers in the past 15 years to promote their business locally, and congratulates all involved for making the magazine a successful endeavour over the past 15 years.
