After a longer than normal break Chair Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga classes restart in the Garvald Village Hall on 2nd October, running through to mid-December.
Chair class has moved from Tuesday to Thursday and is now a 9.30 am start. Places are limited, to maintain a small group and informal atmosphere, and already nearly full, so book now to secure your spot!
Vinyasa class continues at 6.30pm on Thursdays for one hour. The Autumn equinox is nearly upon us (Monday 22nd September), so why not give yourself something to do on these darker nights? Build strength and flexibility and perhaps find your own equilibrium! To ensure classes run, advance booking at least 24 hours before is required.
If you have never tried yoga, have done a little, or want to build on existing knowledge and experience, you are welcome to come along.
More information can be found on the website: www.yoga-dragon.co.uk – where classes can also be booked. Block booking discounts are available based on booking 12 or 8 classes.
Any questions, or if you need further information, please contact Kirsty Malcolm via the online contact form, below:
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

Following the success of last year’s roll out which saw over 50% participation, once again all households in the ward are now eligible for a small payment. This payment is administrated by Garvald and Morham Community Council with Crystal Rig Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund in recognition of the limited choices available when selecting services to rural homes, including fuel bills, transport and broadband options.
The 2025 amount will be £150 per households.
Please note that the GMCC support is available to homes in Garvald and Morham Ward only and applications will be checked against the Ward address list provided to us by East Lothian Council.
If you did not apply last year, you will need to attach a photo of the address panel of your 2025-6 Council Tax letter, clearly showing your address. If you sent this last year we do not need to see it again.
Please note your data will be held as per Garvald and Morham Community Council Data Protection Policy. Data requested for Rural Support Payments will be the minimum required in order to process the application, used only for this purpose, and deleted after the project is completed. Our reports to funders will not include any personal data. If you are not happy for us to collect and store your data in this way but wish to claim the fund, please do not complete this form but contact us at secgmcc@gmail.com so we can help you.
Only one payment can be claimed per household so please confer with others before completing this form.
Deadline for applications is 30th November 2025
This project is run by Garvald and Morham Community Council. We can be contacted at secgmcc@gmail.com for any queries or to receive a printable copy to be returned by post.

Dear Garvald Resident,
As I am sure you are aware, Garvald residents are incredibly lucky to have a spectacular Village Hall at the centre of our community. The hall is much loved by us all and regularly used by many.
Sadly over the last few years the financial situation of the hall has become more perilous: heating costs have escalated, wedding bookings have become fewer and maintenance issues have increased. Despite best efforts of the current and previous committees, running the hall with the level of bookings we currently have is not financially viable over the longer term. As such we are working on a number of fund raising ideas to ensure the hall remains available to us all for many years to come.
Part of this current initiative is to ask each Garvald resident if they would like to become a long term ‘Friend of the Hall’ by setting up a monthly donation. The suggested amount is £5 per month; however, any amount would be greatly appreciated. There is absolutely no obligation to become a friend of the hall but it is hoped that many of the residents will be able to donate a little every month to allow the hall to have a regular income stream.
If you would like to join this initiative, please complete the contact form, below, to receive details of how to set up your payment.
Should anyone wish to discuss this further, please speak to either Gary McGregor (Chair) or Tom Edmonds (Treasurer). They can be contacted via the contact form, too.
Many thanks,
Garvald Village Hall Committee
A coffee morning to raise some funds for the Village Hall is being planned for Saturday 27th September. More information to follow.
Hold on to your apples if you can. We will have an apple-press in operation and you can leave with a bottle of freshly pressed apple juice, after a cuppa and a bit of cake.
