Garvald Village Hall Coffee Afternoon & Table Top Sale

Following the success of the fundraising coffee afternoon a few months back, Isla has decided to host a second on Sunday 8th October, 2-4pm. 

We have decided to combine it with a table top sale.  So, if you have some unwanted items that you have been looking to sell on, why not book a table?  Tables will cost £10 with the proceeds going to the Village Hall funds.  Takings from the sale itself will be kept by the seller.

FUNDRAISING TABLE TOP SALE

Baking donations for the coffee afternoon would be very much welcomed.  Please contact Shirley on 830270 if you would like to donate.

Tables for the sale can be booked by calling Sarah on 830334.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Marathon Runners – justgiving link

A little note below from Laura Edmonds who will be running the Edinburgh Marathon, along with her husband Tom, on Sunday 28th May.  Wishing you both the best of luck!!

Laura Edmonds is fundraising for St Columba’s Hospice Care (justgiving.com)

Just popping this here because a few villagers have asked me to share the link.

You might know I’m running my first marathon in less that 3 weeks, and raising  money for St. Columba’s Hospice in Edinburgh.  Everyone has been so unbelievably generous and it’s honestly kept me going when I’ve found getting out and running those long runs hard.  Last little push! Already had so much support from fellow villagers, means a lot, so a huge thank you, Laura xx

 

Coffee Afternoon Success

Thank you to all who came along to the children’s coffee afternoon today.  It was a big success, raising £190 for the Village Hall funds.  It was lovely to see the children taking control and enjoying serving the locals the tasty cakes and refreshments.

Thanks also to everyone who helped with the prep. and for donating such delicious baking and other offerings.

Watch this space for more of the same.
