Please note that the Garvald Hogmanay Ceilidh is now fully booked and there are no tickets left.
To those of you who have booked your place, get those dancing shoes on, enjoy the live music and have a wonderful night!
A ‘Happy New Year’ to you all and best wishes for 2016.
A reminder that the Hogmanay Ceilidh is starting a little earlier this year, at 7.30pm, starting with roll the £1 coin to win a bottle of whisky (this is a change from the usual proceedings – we won’t be playing this game at the supper interval).
Remember to book your place with Shirley if you want to come along.
Well done and thanks to the brainy quizzers and the melodious carol singers who between them raised over £150 for East Lothian Aid for Refugees on Sunday! If only fundraising was always so much fun?!
Just a note to let you know that the Hogmanay Ceilidh is starting a little earlier this year, at 7.30pm, to allow time for the band to set up while you find your seats and take your coats off. At the same time, you can play roll the £1 coin to win a bottle of whisky (this is a change from the usual proceedings – we won’t be playing this game at the supper interval). So if you or your children wish to have a go, bring plenty of £1 coins and be there for 7.30pm!
Remember to book your place with Shirley if you want to come along.
Plenty of festivities in the village today, Sunday 20th. There is a Christmas Quiz in the pub at 4pm, and then Caroling from 6pm. Pop on your novelty jumpers, tune up the brains/vocal chords and get ready to kick start your Garvald Christmas!
Hogmanay Ceilidh from 7.30pm until midnight in the Village Hall on New Year’s Eve! Live music from ‘The Amazing Ceilidh Band’. Supper provided. B.Y.O.B. and glasses if you’d like a New Year tipple or two. Adults – £10, Under 18s – £5, Under 7s – Free. There will be no printed tickets this year but please let Shirley (830270) know in advance, to book your place. Thank you.
Local artist, Avril Gilmore Blaimire, has now had a book published! Grimolda Grizz Witch Extraordinaire is described as “a perfect read for both children and adults” and “a contemporary story from classical fantasy that makes for an adventure like no other.” It is available from Amazon, as both a Kindle download and paperback. Could it be the perfect stocking filler for the wee one in your life? Or the bigger than wee one who is still young at heart?!
Please let Jo know if your children will be attending the Christmas party. Either use the contact form below or call her on the number listed in the poster.
A reminder that the Christmas wreath-making workshop (adults only) is this Friday, 11th December at 10am at Morham Village Hall with Countryside Ranger, Sam Ranscombe. Cost is £5 and places are limited so please book in advance. For more information or to book, contact Sam.
A message from Caroline McGregor on behalf of East Lothian Aid for Refugees …
East Lothian Aid for Refugees is a non-profit community interest company created to help the refugee crisis in Europe. They are currently collecting donations from all over East Lothian, and fundraising for trips to Calais and further afield with aid. More information can be found on their website.
At present, they are struggling to find a large shed/workshop/lock-up in which to collect, collate and prepare the aid for shipment. Do you know of such a space, and could you help them out? If so, please do get in touch via their contact pages. Many thanks in advance.
