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.

Spring is here!
For once, the calendar says it is Spring and it actually feels like it. What a blissful couple of days?!
The Hall’s Spring Sale is just over a month away. There are still a few small (£8) tables left so do let us know if you want one.
We’re also looking for the proverbial help, both on the day and in advance e.g. home baking. Either drop us a line here or see one of the Trust committee. Many thanks in advance.
Spring is nearly here…
New Waste and Recycling Services from April
From April a new food waste collection using caddies and bags will be introduced. Also, green bins will be collected fortnightly instead of weekly. Leaflets will be arriving soon through your doors, but here’s copies of them to read online if you want to know more.
Spring Sale: 26th April
Any more takers for the forthcoming table top sale? Let us know if you’re interested. Don’t forget to begin your message FAO Katy though …
Would anybody be willing and able to help at the event? We thought it would be especially nice to offer some face painting. Anyone a dab hand with the sponge and/or the brush? Do drop us a line if you could spare an hour or so. Many thanks in advance!
A Little Bit Of Everything …
Garvald Village Hall will play host to a Spring Sale on Sunday 26th April, between 12 and 2.30pm.
So what’s on offer? Well it’s hoped a little bit of everything. But exactly what will depend on YOU!
If you’ve got something to sell, and would be interested in hiring a table, please let us know. Fill in the hall hires contact form giving as much information about your offering as possible. And to make the admin easier, please begin your message “FAO Katy …”
Tables will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. The larger ones will cost £12, and the medium ones £8. If you have a preference, again let us know.
With a bit of luck, all the available space will be snapped up sharpish – and by local traders. Just in case though, Thursday 19th March will be the closing date. And in the meantime, please keep an eye out for updates here.
