We have managed to keep the ticket price for The Garvald Christmas Dinner down at £7.50 per person, thanks to a very generous donation from the Community Council. Amazingly good value!
The format of the evening remains the same – the committee organise soup, turkey, ham, sausages, potatoes, gravy, various sauces and drinks. YOU provide the pizazz with salads and desserts. The invitations will be dropping through your letter-boxes any day now but if by chance yours goes astray, just write your own RSVP and return with payment to The Old Schoolhouse, Garvald by 27th November. (Santa’s sledge is parked outside, disguised as a skip)
Just a wee reminder of what to bring along:
See you there!
Come along and make a Christmas wreath with willow, decorated with holly, ribbon, ivy, stars, etc. under the expert guidance of Jilly Grieg, local basket weaving tutor. Also making a reindeer, if time permits!
We will soon be starting our leaflet drop to all households who have not yet applied for the £100 rural support payment.
Save us paper and stepcount by sending in your application now. We would also be grateful if you would share with in your local WhatsApp, email groups or networks. Or maybe you have a neighbour who is not online? We can send you a prntable version to hand to them.
The rural suport fund is available for ALL households in the ward in recognition of extra costs of living rurally. A third of the households in our community have already received their payment.
Rural support for all (£100) – application form here
The leaflet will also include information regarding the contribution for renewables / energy effciency installations.
Low Carbon Community contributions for households – application form here
If you have any trouble with the forms, or would prefer a printable version, please email me at secgmcc@gmail.com for alternative methods.
Both funds are managed by GMCC by application to Crystal Rig Community Windfarm Community Benefit Fund.
We are also looking for volunteers to take some of the leaflets round. Please let me know if you can help.

The Annual Garvald Christmas Dinner – that beloved highlight of the festive calendar – will take place on Thursday 5th December at 7 pm. Please put the date in your diaries now, and look out for the invitations coming through your letter-boxes within the next few weeks.
If there are any teenagers out there who are not studying for prelims that night, or busy with school dances or concerts, and who would like to earn a little bit of extra Christmas cash as they help with serving and washing-up, please could they contact one of Santa’s angels….

And since we fear there are not many teenagers who routinely check the website please could we ask the Mums and Dads to draw this message to their attention.
