12.8 kg salmon in Gullaspollen

Knut Rasmussen caught this 12.8 kg salmon in Gullaspollen in week 24. So far the fishing in Surna has been very good.

Vårsøghelga at Gulla

As part of Vårsøghelga festival, there was a concert at Gulla Gaard on June 12. Pianist Trygve Brøske and violin player Anders Larsen started out in the living room with chamber music, before opera singer Lina Johnson joined in for the last part of the inside concert. More than 200 guests showed up for a truly magnificent concert.

After the concert Jon Gulla gave a small speech on the history of Gulla Gaard, while Surnadal hotel served port and salmon to the guests. The outside part of the concert was given by Eistein Bæverfjord and Jon Faukstad on the accordion.

In 2010 Jon Atle Gulla published a book, Laks og portvin på Gulla Gaard, that was later awarded a prize by Surnadal heimbygdlag. Trygve Roaldset handed over diploma and flowers to Jon Atle Gulla right after the concert.

Bernt Gulla's 80th birthday at Gulla

There are few people in Nordmøre that have done more for men's fashion and clothing than Bernt Gulla from Kristiansund. With clothing stores in Kristiansund, Sunndalsøra and Oppdal his company defined male elegance in Nordmøre and helped the men look their best. Bernt has now retired from his business, but he is still going strong and celebrated his 80th birthday in 2011.

On May 20 Bernt invited 26 guests to Gulla Gaard as part of his birthday celebration. Whereas Anders Larsen from TrondheimSolistene played the violin, Bjørg Hendseth prepared an outstanding meal with salmon, lamb and ice cream with wild berries. The owner of Gulla Gaard dressed up as "The Don" to commemorate the old days, when Mr. Fleetwood Sandeman, partner of the Sandeman portwine company, used the farm as his own little fishing eldorado.

House ready for the summer

After some intense work during the spring months, we are now ready to receive guests for the summer. We have refurnished the living room with old furniture that was part of the old Gulla Gaard and sold from the farm in 2002. We have also completed a deck in front of the house, where people can relax after long days fishing in the river or hiking in the mountains.
