Red Cross Concert: Last call to book your tickets!

A message from Anne Raitt:

The children in the village are all very brilliant and have worked so hard for the coming concert in Garvald Church (6pm this Saturday). It’s a busy time of year and most things are left to the last minute BUT I wonder if those of you who’d like to come to the performance will make contact soon to book your tickets. We’d like an idea of the numbers; not wishing to run out of wine or nibbles in the Stables afterwards! Please let me know via the Contact Us form or come and see me at Honeysuckle Cottage.

Thank you!
Anne

Wine-tasting evening to raise funds for St Mary’s Parish Church in Haddington

This follows on from his successful night at Garvald Village Hall.
Tickets cost £10 including wines, food and music, with all profits from the evening going to St Mary’s Parish Church. Contact us here to be put in touch via email with the organiser, Joanne Allen, or call her on 811019 to purchase tickets for the event.
