Haddington Junior Hockey – Summer Camp
Some spaces are still available… Open to all P4-7 children, new and experienced players alike.
Local garden open as part of Scotland’s Gardens Scheme
Garvald Grange garden is open as part of the national open gardens scheme. The owners have transformed this garden over the last 24 years from a bare landscape into a haven for wildlife. Beehives feature in the orchard and vegetables, shrubs, roses and herbaceous plants grow in the small walled garden beside the house, under a huge walnut tree. There are two ponds with a resident population of mallard and several new woods plus mature oak coppice and other hardwoods. For more information, see the Scotland’s Gardens website.
Garvald Historical Photos
Thanks to staff at the John Grey Centre, Haddington, we have now added lots more photos to our collection of historical photographs of the village. Take a look in the Historical Photos Gallery.

2016 Pantomime Trip!
The snow has been falling this week and so it’s perfect timing for sending out info on this year’s Christmas Panto trip!!
Very advance notice…
Following our successful trip last year we are returning to the Edinburgh Lyceum in December to see “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” which is suitable for children aged 5+.
Suggested dates for the trip are Saturday 3rd, Saturday 17th or Sunday 18th December, all matinee performances at 2pm.
We have once again been awarded windfarm funding so the price of the trip will be greatly subsidised for residents of the Garvald and Morham area. The price will include theatre tickets and free return coach travel. As was the case last year, children must be accompanied by an adult, but villagers of all ages are welcome. Please let Penny Short know as soon as possible (via the Contact Form) if you would be interested in coming along and which dates suit you, so we can get the ball rolling and pre-book our tickets.
If other pantomimes are preferable then we would welcome any efforts to organise an alternative trip – help and funding advice would be given.
