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!

Garvald & Morham Community Ladies’ Supper – Friday 1st November at 7pm

REMEMBER: it’s perfectly OK to bring something to share which you’ve bought – no pressure to cook anything!

Just a wee reminder of what to bring along:

  • A dish to share
  • Cutlery
  • Plate
  • Bowl for pudding
  • Glass
  • Whatever you like to drink
  • Something to serve your dish with

See you there!

    Apples Wanted!

    Do you have so many apples you don’t know what to do with them, or know someone who does?
    Might you have a juicer we could borrow?
    We are making a canny brew (spiced apple drink) for the children’s Halloween party.
    Please get in touch via the contact form or feel free to drop apples off at Cappel Cottage, just inside the door, any day before the 31st October.
     Many thanks, from twa witches.

      Rural Support Payments

      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….

      Caroline McGregor, Elaine McMillan, Trudi Cueto, Chiara Brand, Chiara Vaccaro, Gemma Gilmour, Becca Hamilton and Graeme Maxton

      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.
