Garvald & Morham Children’s Christmas Party 2025 – less than two weeks to go!

A reminder of the details of this year’s Christmas party:
Sunday 7th December, 2-4pm.
Garvald Village Hall
The ceilidh lady and her accordionist return! As per last year we will break for a children’s tea and again, if all parents could bring a plate of something to contribute to this that would be fab.
Santa has been invited so the plan again will be for parents to secretly bring a small wrapped present (suggested around the £5-10 mark) labelled with their child’s name. When you arrive please bring this into the kitchen along with your food so we can handover to Father Christmas.
See you there!

Fruit & Veg Van in Garvald on Thursdays

Laura is in Garvald every Thursday, approximately between 1.30 and 1.45pm, with her mobile fruit and vegetable van. She is very keen to come to your door so please contact her on 07787418546 to arrange for her to come to you. If you are not going to be in, a bag can be left at your door with orders/requests. Cash or BACS transfer is accepted and she will be getting a card machine in the near future.

As well as a range of fruit and vegetables, her van has a built-in fridge that also has Yester Dairy products, fresh bread from Company Bakery and many other products.

    and only 19 days until the Garvald Christmas Dinner.

    Please send in your RSVPs as soon as possible and remember to say if you are vegetarian or vegan so that we can procure an appropriate number of veggie sausages.

    If you can’t find your invitation it might have slipped under the door mat, or there are some spare ones on the notice boards. And dig out the Christmas jumpers and tinsel so you are all prepared.

    The film to be shown on Friday 14th November is “Fremont” –  postponed from October because of technical difficulties. It’s a black and white film about an Afghan girl living in San Francisco and getting involved in the Fortune Cookie business. Some deadpan humour and a quiet, thoughtful atmosphere. Curry Night at the Lanterne Rouge to kick off with.

    For Remembrance, this year there will be one service for the whole Lammermuir parish.
    Sunday, 9th November will begin with an Act of Remembrance at 10.50 am at the Gifford War Memorial outside Yester Church, where everyone from all parts of the parish who have given their lives during the Wars will be remembered.
    This will be followed by a Remembrance service in Yester Church for all ages, at which everyone is welcome.
    Since Garvald war memorial is currently under scaffolding, there will be no act of Remembrance here.

    REMINDER: Children’s Halloween Party

    Garvald Village Hall is booked for Friday 31st October, between 5.30 – 7pm, for the Children’s Halloween Party.
    The plan is to have a similar set up to last year: guising followed by a party.
    Bringing plates of food so there’s something savoury for kids to eat after guising seemed to work really well last year, so please bring a plate along if you are able to. It would be really helpful if any allergens could be indicated, where possible, and be mindful of children’s allergies.
    We’ll be looking for volunteers to help with set up, clear up and on the night so please use the contact form, below, to indicate if you are able to help out at all.
