Ukrainian Fundraiser Event – Update

The fundraiser on Friday 14th March has now raised £2,100 for UKRAINE thanks to the extent of support from so many in and around Garvald. A great evening was enjoyed even as wallets were emptied.
Colossal appreciation to everyone involved for such generous donations.

PUBlic Philosophy: Talking Whales at the Garvald Inn – Thursday 8th May at 8pm

We have a special PUBlic Philosophy event scheduled for Thursday 8 May, 8-10pm at the Garvald Inn.

Inbal Arnon (Professor of Psychology from Hebrew University) and Simon Kirby (Professor of Linguistics and English Language from the University of Edinburgh) will lead a discussion about the similarities between whale language and human languages. You have probably heard about their work in the news recently; the published research is here.

All welcome as always!

Hens & Ducks / Eggs Update

I would like to let members of the community know that due to continuing family illness, I have decided to stop keeping hens and ducks and, therefore, will no longer be selling eggs.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported my venture over the past years – it has been much appreciated.

The birds will continue to free range on my friend’s farm near North Berwick.

LAST CHANCE for a FREE THERMAL IMAGING SURVEY

Garvald and Morham Community Council have acquired a thermal imaging camera to allow local homes to be surveyed by a local volunteer and advice given on measures that can be taken to reduce heat loss. The expected result is lowered energy use and bills and a reduction of our communal carbon footprint.

To arrange a date, contact either Andy Duncan (Garvald) or Andrew Watson (Morham). We’ll then arrange a suitable time to carry out the survey.

If you prefer, the camera and instructions can be delivered so you can do the survey yourself. In either case we will review the pictures taken and, where possible, give advice on measures that can be taken to reduce heat loss.

There is no charge for this service.

    Fundraiser for Ukraine

    Trump’s sudden withdrawal of Arms and Aid to Ukraine is yet another battle President Zelenskyy and Ukraine have to fight.

    There will be a collection on behalf of Ukraine on Friday 14th March in the Garvald Inn. Please pop in any time between 5.30 pm and 9pm, have a drink and donate. Children under twelve will be served supper at 5.30pm. All comers will be served snacks and nibbles throughout the evening.

    Funds raised go to UNITED24, the charity launched by President Zelenskyy.
    If you can’t make the 14th but would like to donate, please contact the organiser, Anne, via the contact form, below:

      REMINDER: Thermal Imaging for Reducing Heat Loss

      FREE THERMAL IMAGING SURVEY

      Garvald and Morham Community Council have acquired a thermal imaging camera to allow local homes to be surveyed and advice given on measures that can be taken to reduce heat loss. The expected result is lowered energy use and bills and a reduction of our communal carbon footprint.

      The survey can be done by a local volunteer or householders can beat the queue and borrow the camera and do the – fairly simple – survey themselves.

      To arrange a date, contact either Andy Duncan (Garvald) or Andrew Watson (Morham). We’ll then either arrange a suitable time to carry out the survey on your behalf, or deliver the camera and a simple instruction sheet and collect the camera the following day. In both cases we will review the pictures taken and, where possible, give advice on measures that can be taken to reduce heat loss.

      There is no charge for this service.
