Everyone is invited to gather round the Christmas Tree at 5.30pm on Christmas Eve for some carol-singing. Carol sheets will be available but a torch might be handy!
The Christmas Eve service in the church will start at 6 pm with more carols and candles and children dressed up as angels or shepherds ( or anything they like), and there will be mulled wine and mince pies in the Stables afterwards.
Think of your favourite carol and start us off at the Christmas Tree 
Well done to everyone who came along to the Garvald Christmas Dinner last night and provided such a feast for us to share. Special thanks to our VIP guests Jean Waddell and Dorothy Nisbet who started the tradition 50 years ago, and Hurray for Hazel and Father Mark who made the speeches. The whole event was masterminded by Liz Leather with a trusty squad of helpers.
There are still a couple of dishes and serving spoons to collect – Saturday around 1pm just before the children’s party would probably be best or else contact your favourite Village Hall committee member.

The film on Friday 10th November is Compartment No 6 in which a Finnish student and an uncouth miner slowly forge a hesitant connection when they are thrown together in cramped train quarters on a journey across Russia to the far north-west. Will definitely get you ready for winter!!
