Helpers needed

If you can spare a little time today (Thursday), please come down to the hall from 2pm to help set up the tables for the Flower Show. We are short of a couple of our usual helpers so any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Helpers for Flower Show Teas

Just a quick reminder with only a few days to go until the Flower Show…

Donations of home baking are most welcome – please bring them to the village hall kitchen on the morning of the show (Saturday 22ndAugust).

Jo is currently working out the rota for the Teas stall and has a few gaps to fill. Thank you to those of you who have already volunteered to help serve teas and clear tables. If you have not yet been in touch, please contact Jo on 830685 or use the form below. Thank you!

Hall available for use on New Year’s Eve …

Should anyone want to use the Hall for a Hogmanay event, it is still available so please drop the Booking Secretary a line here.

At present, the Hall management committee have no plans to organise a Ceilidh – but they would wholeheartedly support any village residents who did volunteer to put on an event. Last year’s evening of dinner and dancing was much enjoyed, and it would be a great shame were there not similar celebrations this year.

Getting ready for the Flower Show…

The village hall will be set up this Thursday afternoon from 2.00pm, ready for Saturday’s Flower Show. If anyone is available to help move chairs and set up trestle tables, please do come and help. Your assistance would be much appreciated!

Staging of exhibits will be on Friday 21st from 6.00pm and Saturday 22nd from 7.30-10.00am. We look forward to seeing you there!

East Lothian Tri Club marshal appeal…

A message from East Lothian Triathlon Club:

Would you be interested in helping out at the 22nd Haddington triathlon as a marshal this year – or know anyone else that would be?

The event takes place on Sunday 30th August and we will need about 50 marshals to undertake a number of tasks – e.g. count the number of lengths that competitors have swum in the pool, or direct runners and cyclists on the route. No prior experience required. We would need marshals to be available from 8am (at the Aubigny sports centre in Haddington) to about 12.30pm on Sunday 30th August – though pool marshals will be away a bit earlier.
Marshals will receive a packed lunch and a gift and be entered into a £50 prize draw (just for the marshals). It would be great if you could help out. Most people find it a really enjoyable experience and every year we get so many compliments from competitors as to how wonderful and friendly the Haddington tri marshals are!

We also offer a £100 donation to your chosen charity/club if you are able to provide 6 adult marshals. Any younger volunteers would also be welcome but will be paired up so they’re not alone. A great fundraiser for local clubs and charities, as well as Duke Of Edinburgh or Senior School trips!

As usual, we would be delighted to get any offers of help for what is usually a fun event!

If you can help, we would be very grateful if you could let us know via the contact form. Thanks.

Two months’ worth of draws have taken place. The winners were as follows:

July – 21, Ian McMullan; and 44, Tom McGill.
August – 61, Tim Flynn; and 12, Phillip White.

Well done, cheques on their way!
