Everyone is invited to come to Gifford Village Hall on Friday 30th October in order to watch a 50 minute film, “The National Emergency Briefing” hosted by Chris Packham. The film shows brief presentations by leading scientists, and reactions from a number of different people on the climate and nature crisis. After the film everybody is invited to discuss the issues and contribute opinions. Around the UK more than 3000 showings of the film have either taken place already, or are being planned, including at the Scottish Parliament this past week.

Doors open at 7.15 pm. The film will be shown at 7.30pm. Tea and Coffee will be available

On Friday 9th October, Gifford Film Club are showing a rambunctiously fictional version of French history featuring Isabelle Adjani and Daniel Auteil. Don’t expect a rom-com! Apparently, the film features a remarkable variety of gory deaths.

Doors open at 7.30 pm. Film starts at 8pm and there’s a pre-film curry on offer at The Lanterne Rouge.

A BIG thank you to all those that came along to the annual hall maintenance day. The working party, ably led by Lee Robertson. did a great job, as demonstrated by the before & after pics below.
Our next event is the AGM which will take place in the village hall on Tuesday 27th October at 7:30pm.
It would be lovely to have a good turnout. I promise you won’t end up having to join the committee! Unless of course you want to.
As usual it will be followed by the opportunity to have a chat over a glass of wine and a bite of cheese.

Hope to see you there.

Cleaner Required for Garvald Village Hall

Do you, or someone you know, have a spare couple of hours every fortnight? If so, perhaps you could use them to help keep the village hall clean and tidy, while getting paid to do so.

We are looking for a cleaner to do a couple of hours every two weeks at £15 per hour i.e. £30 per fortnight. The times can be flexible to suit.

Additionally, there will be a need to do occasional bigger cleans after events such as weddings which would be remunerated accordingly.

If you are interested please contact Gary McGregor at garvaldgary@hotmail.com or call on 07393 204122.
