If you’re wondering how to while away some of these dark, dank, depressing winter evenings …
Why not try dance fitness on Monday nights? Local instructor Amanda hosts an hour-ish long Zumba class in the Hall from 7pm. It’s salsa based, so there is lots of latin music to get you moving. And guaranteed to burn the calories, but in a fun way – honest! If you’ve been wondering how you’re going to fit into that gorgeous body-con LBD for the Christmas party season, this might just be the answer … The session price is £5 for adults and £4 for youngsters. And all you need is comfy clothes and trainers. Hopefully see more of you there!

Hogmanay 2012???
For some years, a small group of GVHT committee members have staged a Family Ceilidh to herald in the New Year. It has proven a popular and well attended event, drawing revellers from the village and wider area. This year though, a number of said committee members are going to be away. Whilst those who remain would like to continue the Hogmanay tradition, they doubt they can with such limited manpower. Do you think you could help? To sound out the community, there will be a meeting in the Hall at 7.30pm on Thursday 1st November. If you are unable to come along, but are keen to be involved, drop us a line. Or have a word with Caroline McGregor, Vicki Short or Hazel Clark. Many thanks in advance.
