The clocks are about to go back, winter is coming and yet – Hurray! – the annual Garvald Christmas Dinner to look forward to. As usual it will take place on the first Thursday in December (the 4th) at 7pm. Look out for the invitations coming through your letter-boxes very soon.

This is a wonderful opportunity for any teenagers out there to earn some Christmas cash by helping with the serving and washing-up. If you’re interested you can speak to Trudi at Carfrae Farm Shop or Caroline at The Old Schoolhouse. We would love to get you involved.

Another Great Hit by the Village People

Many thanks to the enthusiastic and energetic working party that turned up to help clear the vegetation behind GVH.

A great result was achieved

Big thank you

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the coffee morning on Saturday with your baking, chutney, honey, apples, pears and muscle-power. And to everyone who came along to spend money.

We made a splendid £384.31 for the village hall.

Approximately 8 vintage hand-embroidered white linen tablecloths belonging to the Village Hall are no longer required and are available for sale. You will get a chance to buy them at the next exciting event –

Harvest Coffee Morning on 27th September

Time to get those apples picked!

The Harvest coffee morning will take place in Garvald Village Hall on Saturday 27th September from 10 until 12 noon to raise some funds for the Hall.

We’d love donations of jams, chutneys and anything baked for the Bring and Buy stall ( or extra baking for the tea stall) Please label your baking with allergens if at all possible. If you have a few pre-loved books lying around that you think might be popular – please bring them along too.

Excitingly you will have the opportunity to press your own apples (or someone else’s) into apple juice. So bring a bottle and some muscle power.

Most importantly please bring CASH – all in aid of Hall funds.

And finally we could really do with another couple of volunteer helpers on the day, so if you’d like to be that superstar just contact Caroline McGregor or use the form below
