Please come along to a free screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing film at 7.30pm on Friday 30 October in Gifford Village Hall. Doors will open at 7.15pm.
The 50-minute film is hosted by Chris Packham and other familiar faces. It is a calm, evidence-based overview of the effects on our everyday lives of current changes to our climate and natural world.
Footage of leading UK experts in climate science, food security, health, economics, national security and nature is followed by an assessment of the responses that can make a crucial difference. More information about the film can be found at www.nebriefing.org
The film will be followed by refreshments and a short, structured discussion.
Please note, the film is suitable for those aged 16 and over.
Please spread the word about this opportunity to learn from the experts about the future facing us all and how we can make it a better one.
There is no need to book a place but, to help us get an idea of numbers, we would appreciate if you could let us know if you intend to come along by submitting the contact form, below, and indicating ‘YES’ on it. Please also use the contact form if you have any questions about the screening:
Many thanks,

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.
14th October, come and learn about rag rugs in Carfrae Farm Snug

There will be a Community Hearing about the proposed Newlands Hill Wind Energy Hub in Gifford Village Hall, 7pm – 9pm on Monday 12th October.
This is an opportunity for residents in East Lothian to hear more details about the impact of the proposal to erect wind turbines on the Central Lammermuir Ridge.
Everyone is welcome.
More information on the project can be found on the Newlands Hill Wind Energy Hub website. I have not included a link, here, as it came up as ‘not secure’ but it may be different for others who search for it. Information can also be found on the progress of the application and appeals on the Scottish Government Energy Consents website: Scottish Government – Energy Consents Unit – Application Details
The film being shown this Friday is “The Roses”, a satirical black comedy with Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch. Doors open 7.30pm and the film starts at 8 pm.
