Spring Show Set-up …

In case you’ve been too engrossed in the election to notice, it is the Garvald Spring Table-top Sale this Sunday from 12pm till 2.30pm …

Set up will take place on Saturday between 4pm and 6pm. Could we ask for some fit and strong help with shifting the trestle tables first thing? Many thanks in advance …

Stall holders are more than welcome to come on the Saturday, or on the Sunday when the Hall will be open from 11am. Donations of plants, tombola prizes etc will also be accepted both days …

Any questions, see Hazel, Caroline, Katy or Vicky. Otherwise, see you there!

 

Who can resist a tombola?!

Nobody, we hope as there will be one at the Garvald Spring Table-top Sale in aid of the Garvald Kirk, and its much needed roof renovation …

Can anyone look out a wee prize or two? An unopened bottle of perfume. A pre bikini diet box of chocolates. A duplicate DVD. You know the sort of thing, not necessarily a big ticket item but something somebody would like to win …

Caroline MacGregor is doing the collection and collation. Either drop your donations in at The Old Schoolhouse, or bring them to the Hall on Saturday 25th between 4-6pm. Thanks in advance.

100 Club Update

Two draws to fill you in on.

March winners are as follows:

  • 30, Elaine McQuaide; and
  • 65, Eleanor Cazdow.

Successful in April were:

  • 72, Evie Houston; and
  • 45, Jim Pattison.

Well done to you all!

 

 

Attention all you green fingered gardeners!

At the Spring Table-top Sale on Sunday week, there will be a gardening stall stocked with plants, tools and books … Or there will be if you green fingered bunch can help out and donate some stock!

Put aside a couple seedlings if you’re potting on. If you’re splitting a plant, think of us and make three rather than two. And go on, treat yourself to some shiny new secateurs – and give us the old ones to sell on!

The Hall will be open for donations on Saturday 25th April between 4 and 6pm. Or you can always bring them along on the morning of the sale, preferably before it opens at 12pm. If neither suits, Hazel Clark will happily plant sit so drop whatever it is off to her in Burnside Court. Many thanks in advance …

Piano looking for new home…

A message from Shelagh Legget:
I have an upright piano surplus to requirement at Danskine. If you, or anyone you know, would like it then please let me know. Free to a good home. First come, first served! Tel. 810 246

Gifford Cub Leaders needed urgently…

Gifford Cubs is still looking for a new leader (or several leaders, to attend on a rota).
Alastair McClung will be finishing as leader in June 2015 after 12 years. Many boys and girls from Garvald, Gifford, Morham and the surrounding areas have enjoyed Cub Scouts in Gifford over the years. If no-one steps up the group will be closing down, which will be a real loss to the community.

Alastair is happy to assist with outdoor activities and camps in 2015-16, but the group needs one or more people to attend as cub leaders on Monday nights (6.00 – 7.30pm) at Yester Primary School to organise games and activities, and help the children achieve their badge awards. You’ll be offered training to assist you, if required.

If you can help or know someone who would like to take part in this worthwhile opportunity, or you would like more information on what is required, please use the Contact form and we will pass on your details to Gifford Cubs. Thank you.
