      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)

      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!
