It’s that time of year again… Christmas is coming, so why not do some gift shopping at the Garvald Christmas Fair on Sunday 1st December in the Village Hall, 12 till 3pm. You’ll find a wide variety of crafts and gifts including patchwork, bags, soft toys, handbags, scarves, prints, bric-a-brac, jewellery and home baking. This year, for the first time, Clan Cushions will be here. Plus Phoenix Cards, Fairtrade/Tearcraft gifts, Save the Children and the Haddington Pipe Band are all back again!

Santa will be coming at 1.00pm and there will be a Raffle with a wonderful Christmas hamper up for grabs. If you need stamps for your Christmas cards, Post Office services will be available, too.

When you’ve done your shopping, relax with hot soup or some of our delicious home baking and catch up with your friends!

Come and find some Christmas cheer in Garvald on December 1st – see you there!

Annie Raitt is looking for someone with a video recorder to come along and film segments of the fund-raising concert on the 30th November.

If you can help please reply to this post or go and knock on her door at Honeysuckle Cottage.

The  Concert will be held at Garvald Church on Saturday the 30th of November at 6.00pm and there will be drinks and nibbles in The Stables afterwards for everyone.

A message from the children of Garvald:

We are having a fundraising event for the Red Cross to help the children of Syria who have been forced to leave their homes because of the war. The event will take place at Garvald Church on Saturday the 30th of November at 7.00pm and there will be a party in The Stables afterwards for everyone. Tickets cost £5 and donations of refreshments (wine, nibbles, cakes) for the party would be much appreciated.

Children wishing to perform should meet at the Church this Saturday 9th at 10.30am.
