Jumble sale success
Thanks to everybody who supported the jumble sale. £850 was raised towards the cost of the youth group expedition to Mont Blanc.
Woodland Management
Yesterday on the steep bank of the Papana Burn adjacent to the park in Garvald, the young trees received some annual maintenance work. Approximately fifty individual trees required some attention including the straightening of leaning trees, cutting of some intrusive weeds (e.g. gorse / brambles), replacing dead saplings and repairing damaged tubes and stakes. Photos taken by Graham Barnes.
Helping hands
A message from Emily Pattison: ‘I’m in between jobs at the moment and am available for baby-sitting, childminding, dog walking, pet-sitting, house-sitting, etc.’
Emily is aged 25 and based locally at Garvald Grange Steadings. If you would like to get in touch with her, please use the contact form and your details will be forwarded to her.

Rogue’s Gallery Cabaret
Following the success of their March show in Haddington, Rogue Village will be hosting their next Rogue’s Gallery on Saturday 8 April at Tyninghame Village Hall – for tickets and more information, see the Rogue Village website.
“Rogue’s Gallery – a curiously curated cabaret. A monthly night of live music, dance, visuals, magic, circus and anything else that takes our fancy. A quality and captivating event transforming intimate venues across East Lothian.”
The Matinee is family friendly (4+) and very suitable for all ages, especially families with older children and teens. Evening show is 18+ only, a more laid back, social affair – a night-out, peppered with performance.
