Future Yoga Classes in Garvald Village Hall

If you have or think you might have any interest in taking part in a yoga class in the village hall, starting in the New Year 2025, please check out the poll on Facebook, at Yoga Dragon’s page: (1) Facebook 

Or email kirsty@yoga-dragon.co.uk with suggested days and times with an indication of your level of experience.

Current classes will continue in the New Year on current days and times, details of which can be found on www.yoga-dragon.co.uk  – although new 2025 dates not yet listed!

The poll is to assess whether an additional yoga class might have demand if at a different time or on a different day, or both!

No commitment required at this stage – just expressions of interest.

Thanks for all the RSVPs so far.

Still time for you to pop your money in an envelope, decide whether to make a salad or dessert and return your RSVP to Gary and Caroline at The Old Schoolhouse, Garvald.

You may have noticed that Santa’s sleigh-disguised-as-a-skip has gone! Off to Greenland! Christmas is getting closer.

November Coffee Morning

The November coffee morning will take place on Friday 15th (3rd Friday of the month) at 11 am in the Stables.

A couple of people have already offered to provide edibles so everyone else can relax and sample what’s on offer.

A certain “historical document” will be available to peruse!! Irresistable.

Garvald Main Street Resurfacing Works: 11th – 29th November 2024

Resurfacing works will take place in Garvald between the above dates, weather permitting. The road will be closed to traffic during working hours.

Phase 1 – Western Extent to Burnside Court – Monday 11th to Friday 22nd November

Phase 2 – Burnside Court to Eastern Extent – Monday 25th to Friday 29th November

Cones will be placed in advance, in the relevant area for each phase of the work, and locals are kindly asked to adhere to the restrictions. Diversions will be in place. Parking will also be restricted in the area of Linden Cottage, on the C104, to facilitate the diversions and vehicles turning.

Emergency vehicle access will remain and refuse and recycling will continue to be collected.

For further details on the phases of the work and the areas affected, please see the following link: tellmescotland

The film to be shown on Friday 8th November is a Golden Oldie from 1945 – “I know where I’m going”. The story of a headstrong heroine who knows what she wants, but is waylaid by the elements and an unexpected romance is one of the most lovable films in British cinema history.

Doors open at 7.30 pm. Film starts at 8pm. You can fit in a pre-film supper at the Lanterne Rouge if you fancy!

REMINDER: It’s nearly Hallowe’en!

Calling all witches, wizards, ghosts and other fiendish folk!

This year’s children’s Hallowe’en party will be on Thursday 31st October, 5:30-7pm.
Meet in your spookiest costume at Garvald Village Hall (5:30pm) for guising followed by a Hallowe’en tea party and games whilst the spoils are divided in keeping with Garvald tradition.
Please bring a plate of food (bought or made!) to contribute to the tea and hand it in at the hall when we meet for guising.
Garvald Residents: If you are happy for your house to be approached for guising, please leave out a pumpkin or some other form of Hallowe’en decoration – thank you!
