PUBlic Philosophy at The Garvald Inn – Wednesday 5th June

On Wednesday 5th June, 8-10pm (not Thursday as usual), we will have an ad hoc PUBlic Philosophy event. Pascal Brixel (from Northwestern University in Chicago), Jan Kandiyali (from the University of York), and Barry Maguire (University of Edinburgh) will attempt to make a case for Twenty-First Century Communism. We will offer a moral argument rather than an economic one, and rather than offering criticisms of capitalism (which is shooting fish in a barrel) we will develop a positive case for a radical alternative, based on the value of solidarity in our productive lives. All welcome as always. ¡Viva la Revolución!

Dr Richard Phillips at Wild Caledonia, an experienced International Mountain Leader with an academic background in geology, will be your guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Scottish landscape. The Pentlands offers a great opportunity to get on the hills, explore the geology and learn some navigation and mountain safety tips. It’s set to be a lovely trip.

    SHOW SUNFLOWER SEEDS – READY TO PLANT

    Any children (over 5’s) plus teens wanting to plant dwarf sunflowers to enter into the Village Show – I’ve popped the seeds (variety ‘Baby Face’) in the Hall noticeboard. Please help yourself. They need to be planted April/early May. I’ll put cress seeds (for Under 5’s – cress heads) there as well, but they don’t need planted until much nearer the Show.

    PLANT SALE – a reminder that this will take place Saturday 18th May, 2pm outside the Hall.

    Thanks, Jo
