On Friday 13th March, “Dead of Winter” starring Emma Thomson is being shown in Gifford Village Hall. A gripping psychological drama set in snowy Minnesota – bound to make you shiver. Doors open at 7.30 pm, Film starts at 8 pm
Sincere thanks to everyone who came along for soup and made some suggestions yesterday. The worthy winners of the raffle were Ian McMullen. Norma Thomson and Chris Worsley. As a side-note we made a total of £220 for the Village Hall. The real gold is in the suggestion box though and we look forward to finding out what people thought.
If you think of something else, fill in the form below
Saturday 7th March 12-2 pm Garvald Village Hall
Come for a bowl of soup, a slice of bread and to share your thoughts and ideas for events, activities, classes, community groups, ways for people to get involved, fund-raising ideas and anything else you can think of to support the Hall and local community.
Not just the usual raffle – your could win a voucher for Coffee at Carfrae, a Pint at the Pub or Posh Afternoon tea at Papple
Please bring some snacks / nibbles / light bites to share as well as your preferred drink.
This is instead of a meal-based event which we have had in the past. This keeps things simple and takes the pressure off planning a little!
See you there!

Since Father Leonard’s funeral will take place on Saturday 28th February, the Soup and Suggestions Lunch will move to Saturday 7th March.
So come along to the Village Hall on Saturday 7th March 12-2 pm, to enjoy a bowl of soup, a slice of bread and to share your thoughts and ideas for events, activities, classes, community groups, ways for people to get involved, fund-raising ideas and anything else you can think of to support the Hall and local community.
Come for a catch-up at any point during the two hour session; (come early to get home in time for the rugby) make it a quick bite of lunch and time for some hellos, or just pop in to leave a note of your suggestions.
Soup and bread is free but any small donations on the day are welcome. Suggestions can be noted and left anonymously if preferred – paper and pens provided.
The funeral of Fr. Leonard will take place on Saturday 28th February at 12 noon at Nunraw Abbey. There will be a Mass at the church followed by the burial at the cemetery. Afterwards, there will be a tea in the guest house.
With apologies for the inconvenience, we have had to change the date of the next Public Philosophy meeting at the Garvald Inn (to accommodate a change in the availability of the speakers). We will now meet on Thursday 28th May.
Updated flyer below – soon to appear on a village notice board near you!
Locals will be sad to hear that Fr Leonard – a familiar face around the village on his daily walk – has passed away. Latterly, he had been a resident of Ashley House Care Home in North Berwick.
