Many thanks to all those who supported last night’s Nunraw Christmas Dinner, and to Father Mark, and the community, for hosting us all. It really was a superb evening, a fitting finale if it is to be the last held in the Guest House …

Looking forward to seeing so many of you for Christmas Dinner at Nunraw on Thursday. It’s 7pm for drinks, with food from 7.30pm. Come hungry, there should be loads!

Many thanks to all those who supported the Christmas Fair on Sunday. It was a delightful event, a fitting end to Garvald’s”big weekend!” All in all,  some £440 was raised for Hall coffers – almost double the financial result from last year. Thank-you, thank-you,  thank-you very much!

Remember, it’s Garvald’s big weekend.

This evening, the children take centre stage with their concert in aid of the Red Cross Syrian appeal. 6pm in the Church, and afterwards in the Stables. Please chap Anne Raitt’s door if you haven’t got your tickets yet.

Tonight, it’s St Andrew’s Night in the Pub – with local fayre and folk music.

And tomorrow, the festive season gets properly under way with the Christmas Fair in the Hall. There’ll be craft stalls, as well as something yummy for lunch and Santa is coming along too. 12 till 3pm – but a little secret, best to be there around 1pm if you want to see the big beardie man!!!

As you know, it is the Christmas Fair on Sunday – a wonderful opportunity to browse for and buy lovely presents, as well as eat yummy home baked cakes! Between now and then though, the Hall has to be transformed – the hefty trestles lugged about, the stacked chairs moved etc. Could anyone lend strong arms? They really would be appreciated. If you can, please head Hall-ward at 10am on Saturday morning. We promise you won’t be detained for too long…

There seems to be so much going on in the village at the moment. It almost feels unfair to hassle you all some more. But … Could we please have RSVPs for the Nunraw Dinner by the end of this week please? The catering team need a firm idea of numbers before they start peeling spuds and boiling sprouts. (Okay, the sprouts are a joke …) Thanking-you!
