Poetry Competition entries sent for judging
We’re delighted to announce that this year’s competition had 113 fabulous entries from local children at Yester Primary and Belhaven Hill School. What creativity we have in our midst! Poems have now been sent off for our judge, Liz Lochhead, to enjoy.
This year, we even had interest from afar…a class at Court Moor School, Fleet, Hampshire sent us a water poem:
What am I?
Drunk by humans
Split by boats
Frozen by weather
Splattered on coats
Priceless to humans
At the bottom of loos
Mixed with teabags
Parted by canoes
Gather on the roadside
Friends with people
Foe to electricity
Sometimes lethal
With the help of evaporation, I fly
What am I? -

First Responders Team in Garvald?
A local resident has suggested we explore the possibility of having a First Responders unit in Garvald/Morham, with portable defibrillators and trained medical emergency volunteers. This topic will be discussed at the next Community Council meeting in December.
There are First Responder teams in Dunbar and Stenton. Here’s a link with information about the project: http://www.scottishambulance.com/YourCommunity/responders.aspx.
We need your opinion:
- Please tell us if you think this would be a good idea.
- Also, let us know if you would be interested in receiving training to become a medical emergency volunteer.
To send your feedback, click here for the Contact Us form, or talk to Rufus Bellamy. Thank you!
