For those people who have been knitting poppies as part of the nationwide project to mark 100 years since the end of World War I, we will have our final session for collecting the poppies into a display on Monday 29th October from 6.30 pm until 8.30 pm in the Stables.
We already have several hundred poppies.
The poppies will be on display in Garvald and Morham Churches before and after Remembrance Day.
Arrangements for this especially significant Remembrance Day are on the attached poster.

Best Halloween joke ever, courtesy of the Beano!
Kids, get your best Halloween outfits, jokes and tricks ready for the children’s Halloween party and guising on Wednesday 31st October from 6-8pm.
If everyone could meet at the hall we will split up into two groups and do trick or treat around the village. This is a return to our tried-and-tested set-up which suits the trick-or-treaters and also suits residents who are not keen on a night of doorbell ringing.
We will return to the hall for some games, doughnuts and apple dooking!
Villagers, if you are happy for guisers to visit you, please leave a light on or a pumpkin at the door. If you are not available or don’t want a visit, please let us know or leave your porch/hall lights off. Thanks.

William Oldroyd – 2016 – 85 mins – (15) – Subtitles
DRAMA with a capital D. In rural England 1865, a young woman sold into a loveless marriage with a much older man, begins a passionate affair with a young worker on her husband’s estate. Under the influence of her oppressive in-laws, her actions become increasingly reckless, obsessive and violent. Florence Pugh gives a remarkable performance as Katherine and the audience is witness to the dramatic development of her character and the breathtaking unfolding of the story.
