Garvald & Morham Community Ladies’ Supper – Friday 3rd October at 7pm

The next Ladies’ Night will be on Friday 3rd October at 7pm in the Garvald Stables. We would love to see some of our neighbours from the wider community come along, too!

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!

Yoga in Garvald Village Hall

After a longer than normal break Chair Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga classes restart in the Garvald Village Hall on 2nd October, running through to mid-December.

Chair class has moved from Tuesday to Thursday and is now a 9.30 am start.  Places are limited, to maintain a small group and informal atmosphere, and already nearly full, so book now to secure your spot!

Vinyasa class continues at 6.30pm on Thursdays for one hour. The Autumn equinox is nearly upon us (Monday 22nd September), so why not give yourself something to do on these darker nights?  Build strength and flexibility and perhaps find your own equilibrium! To ensure classes run, advance booking at least 24 hours before is required.

If you have never tried yoga, have done a little, or want to build on existing knowledge and experience, you are welcome to come along.

More information can be found on the website: www.yoga-dragon.co.uk – where classes can also be booked.  Block booking discounts are available based on booking 12 or 8 classes.

Any questions, or if you need further information, please contact Kirsty Malcolm via the online contact form, below:

    The Village Hall needs your help strimming and clearing!

    Hello Garvald!

    The rear of the village hall has become very overgrown again. This makes it difficult to maintain the hall and, as we will soon be starting work to renovate the hall windows, we need to clear the area so the workmen can gain access easily.
    Volunteers are needed on Sunday 5th October from 2pm. We’ll be clearing the weeds and need some helping hands.
    It’s a sizable task but with the power of the Garvald community many hands will make light work.
    See you there with your strimmers, rakes, work wear, secateurs, pruning shears, hedge trimmers…!

    Friends of Garvald Village Hall Scheme

    Dear Garvald Resident,

    As I am sure you are aware, Garvald residents are incredibly lucky to have a spectacular Village Hall at the centre of our community. The hall is much loved by us all and regularly used by many.

    Sadly over the last few years the financial situation of the hall has become more perilous: heating costs have escalated, wedding bookings have become fewer and maintenance issues have increased. Despite best efforts of the current and previous committees, running the hall with the level of bookings we currently have is not financially viable over the longer term. As such we are working on a number of fund raising ideas to ensure the hall remains available to us all for many years to come.

    Part of this current initiative is to ask each Garvald resident if they would like to become a long term ‘Friend of the Hall’ by setting up a monthly donation. The suggested amount is £5 per month; however, any amount would be greatly appreciated. There is absolutely no obligation to become a friend of the hall but it is hoped that many of the residents will be able to donate a little every month to allow the hall to have a regular income stream.

    If you would like to join this initiative, please complete the contact form, below, to receive details of how to set up your payment.

    Should anyone wish to discuss this further, please speak to either Gary McGregor (Chair) or Tom Edmonds (Treasurer). They can be contacted via the contact form, too.

    Many thanks,

    Garvald Village Hall Committee
