Garvald Children’s Poetry Competition Results

Congratulations to the winners of the Garvald Children’s Poetry Competition. What a wonderful variety of poems we had this year, all on the theme ‘Light’. You can read the winning poems on the Poetry Competition 2015 page.

We would like to thank poet and playwright Donald Campbell for judging, the Scottish Poetry Library for providing books and postcards as prizes and Garvald and Morham Community Council for funding book token prizes and printing of the poetry books.

Well done to the children who took part for producing some fantastic poetry this year. We hope you enjoy reading them!

Christmas at the oasis …

Thanks to those of you who have pointed out the howling spelling mistake on this year’s Christmas Dinner invite. The perils of checking the spell checker rather than checking the spelling … For the avoidance of doubt, we’re looking for offers of salad or dessert. Sand, camels or anything else desert related would be accepted but not necessarily used on the night!

Keep the acceptances coming. The sooner the better as it helps the catering team plan in advance. And if you’ve lost the offending bit of paper, it can be found on a previous blog post.
