    This Friday 8th May, “The Outrun” will be shown in Gifford Village Hall.

    Saoirse Ronan stars as a woman who returns home to Orkney after her life in London begins to unravel. Doors open at 7.30pm, film starts at 8pm

    There are still a couple of spaces for a pre-film curry at the Lanterne Rouge – contact details in the poster

    For one night only…..

    The last few plants left over from the plant sale will be available outside the Village Hall. Please come and take a look and hand in any donations to Malcolm in Whitelaws (envelope under the door!)

    An astounding £380 was raised for the hall from the plant sale alone. Thanks to everyone for their donations and for supporting the day.

    Also, some beautifully mature roses are being got rid of from Dove Cottage near Garvald Grange ( the last cottage on the right as you come out of Garvald). If you would like them for your garden, please come to Dove Cottage and bring a spade.
