What’s the digital equivalent of a stuck record?!
Someone blogging incessant reminders … Sorry to those who have already submitted their 100 Club dues for 2014-15. But here’s a final call for those who haven’t. Could you please return the form and cash to Hazel or Katy asap. Many thanks in advance!
Quiz Night – in aid of Gifford Playgroup …
A reminder about the quiz night, which is happening in the Garvald Inn this Saturday from 8.30pm. It’s £5 per team of four people, with proceeds going to the local playgroup.
Keep ’em coming!
There has already been a very positive response to this year’s village Christmas Dinner. Many thanks to all of you who’ve RSVP-ed already … Here’s a wee reminder for those that haven’t. It’s in the hall at 7pm on Thursday 4th December. All adult residents are invited, at a charge of £5 per head. If you could contribute to the buffet, it would be most appreciated – either a salad to accompany the turkey or a cold desert as Christmas pudding is never enough … To download the flier, click here.
