Chris Park, the new Postmaster of Garvald Post Office, would like to remind you that he offers a wide range of postal services in the Village Hall on Thursday mornings from 09:30 to 11:30. It’s a very useful facility to have on our doorsteps, so why not come along soon and make use of the Post Office to post all your Christmas parcels and buy your stamps.
Why not take a look at our History of Garvald page? We’ve had lots of interest and several comments from people researching their family trees and wanting information on village residents from the past. Also, if anyone has old photos of Garvald, we’d love to put them in our Gallery. If you can help with either of these requests, please get in touch using the Contact Us form.
The website now has a page for useful community safety and winter readiness information, see Safety Information.
Minutes from the October meeting of the Garvald and Morham Community Council are now available on the GMCC page. Among the items discussed were Crystal Rig funding, progress on the Garvald Woodland Project and Christmas plans for both villages.
The Concert will be held at Garvald Church on Saturday the 30th of November at 6.00pm and there will be drinks and nibbles in The Stables afterwards for everyone.
Formal invitations should now be with you. If not, drop us a line and one will wing its way … Please RSVP as soon as you can. Katy Mowat is collating. Pop envelopes into the black letter box on the gate at The Rowans. Many thanks in advance!

A message from the children of Garvald:
We are having a fundraising event for the Red Cross to help the children of Syria who have been forced to leave their homes because of the war. The event will take place at Garvald Church on Saturday the 30th of November at 7.00pm and there will be a party in The Stables afterwards for everyone. Tickets cost £5 and donations of refreshments (wine, nibbles, cakes) for the party would be much appreciated. Please deliver any food/drink donations to Anne Raitt or Caroline McGregor.
Children wishing to perform should meet at the Church this Saturday 9th at 10.30am.
… once again, please let us know if it is yours!
A message from Phillip White, Garvald and Morham Community Council:
The Community Council is endeavouring to set up a Neighbourhood Watch in Garvald to include Garvald Grange, Garvald Mains, Nunraw Barns and Tanderlane Cottages.
In the next few days you should receive a leaflet through your letterbox inviting you to join the scheme. We would be pleased if you would complete and return the form to us.
We are at the early stages of deciding the best way to proceed with this project and how the scheme would be run, so we need your feedback. A Neighbourhood Watch should meet the needs of the community it serves. Our aim is to have a fully functioning Neighbourhood Watch for the area, coordinated in a way that best suits the community. We already have a community that cares and what we want to do is to make sure our village and its residents are looked after.
