Garvald Kids Go Guising – Saturday 31st October
Saturday 31st October 2015, 6pm-7.30pm
Meet at the hall – guising – back to hall for games and divvying up the loot…
Please don’t abandon your children! All primary school children must be accompanied by an adult.
If you are new to the village, the Garvald tradition is for the children to go guising together in two or three groups (with grown-ups in tow). We then go back to the hall for apple dooking, donuts on a string etc while sweets are divvied up and shared (to the delight of the smallest who usually profit with a bigger bag!).
Please let us know via the contact form below, or make it obvious on the night, if you do not wish to be disturbed!

Hall AGM, 7.30pm on Wednesday …
We appreciate you all lead busy lives and suffer from many competing priorities, but it would make such a difference if there was a good turnout at tomorrow’s Hall AGM. It’s at 7.30pm, and there will be cake, biscuits or both! Please PLEASE *PLEASE* try spare an hour or so of your time.
One for the nature lovers …
A kind offer from Barrie Ash:
“I currently receive ‘Scottish Wildlife’ from Scottish Wildlife Trust, which is published three times each year as well as ‘Natures Home’ from the RSPB, which has a Scotland News supplement and is published quarterly.
Instead of ultimately consigning them to the recycling box, if there is anyone in the village or nearby who is interested, or might be starting out in learning about our wildlife, you would be welcome to have a look at them. I would be pleased to pass them, after having had a good read myself of course!
Please contact me by telephone 01620830322 or drop round to The New School House.”
No Councillor Surgery in the Hall this Saturday …
Unfortunately, Councillor Trotter Is having to cancel his surgery in the Hall this Saturday. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
BBC Radio Scotland’s Big Debate with Gordon Brewer in North Berwick, Friday 30th October
A message from Sarah Heardman, a researcher from BBC Radio Scotland:
I am writing to you from The Big Debate with Gordon Brewer, BBC Radio Scotland’s version of the TV debate programme Question Time.
We are in North Berwick for our weekly Friday lunchtime debate 30th October and we are looking for a lively audience to come along and join our live debate on the topical issues of the week. All are welcome. If you would like to come along, please access the online application form http://bbc.in/1Al9Rpx, email bigdebate@bbc.co.uk or phone 0141 422 7773.
WHERE: St Andrew Blackadder Church, St Andrew St, North Berwick,
WHEN: Friday 30thOctober, 2015
TIMES: Doors open at the venue at 11:15am the show is on air from 12pm – 1pm
Former Newsnight presenter Gordon Brewer is the host of The Big Debate.
Every Friday the programme visits a different part of Scotland to discuss the big issues of the week. Gordon will be joined by a panel of speakers from the world of Politics, Arts, Science, Business and other areas of public life. But we want you – the audience – to pose the questions.
We look for questions on the most stimulating moral, political and social issues of the day – the current issues that will get people talking. So the programme gives YOU the opportunity to challenge politicians, policy makers, writers and thinkers.
Questions should be brief and to the point if possible and should be on something that’s been reported in the news. As the programme broadcasts to a Scotland-wide audience, we look for issues that raise matters of genuine national and international interest, and remember to keep an eye on the newspapers. Once you know what you want to ask, email your question to us at bigdebate@bbc.co.uk by 5.00pm, Thursday 29th October. Please be aware we are not able to guarantee that all questions will be used.
