GVHT Meeting on Wednesday 13th February – POSTPONED!

Just to let GVHT committee members know that tonight’s meeting has been postponed – due to the inclement weather, and apologies occasioned by half term. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause … February’s meeting will now take place next Wednesday (20th) at 7pm in the Hall meeting room. Hopefully a near to full compliment of members will be able to make it then.

Save the date(s!)

Here’s an excuse to crack out those shiny new diaries, with (very) advance notice of some popular village events …

  • Plant Sale – Sunday 19th May
  • Jumble Sale  – Sunday 16th June
  • Horticultural Show – Saturday 31st August
  • Christmas Fair – Sunday 1st December

Needless to say, let us know if you’d like to help organise any of the above. Or if you have any bright new ideas for a community get-together cum fundraiser. Many thanks in advance. 

Village Hall Notice Board …

Unfortunately the Notice Board outside the Village Hall has been damaged beyond repair in the recent gales. This was a very useful asset to the village, not only for Hall business, but being opposite the play park, it kept visitors to the Village informed of what is happening in the area.

There is a long tradition in the village of local craftsmen making notice boards, e.g. the late Mr Kelly made the board which has just been damaged whilst Mr Marwick renovated it, and Mr Cunningham, who farmed at Tanderlane, made the one at the Church gate.

If there is someone with the talent to make something to replace what we have just lost, the Hall Committee would be delighted to hear from them with a view to discussing the cost of materials etc.  Please contact Hazel Clark if you have any ideas, or know where a second hand weatherproof notice board might be sourced. Many thanks in advance.

Christmas Fair: many thanks …

It was a joy to see the Village Hall so busy for yesterday’s Christmas Fair, despite the cold and icy conditions. Many thanks to all those who turned out,  to sell, shop and/or help out. Special mention too to Santa, who managed to fit us into his hectic schedule. What a trooper?! In all, some £320 was raised for the Hall itself – a very nice result …

Hogmanay Ceilidh …

Don’t go making any alternative plans – just because you haven’t heard all the details yet, it doesn’t mean that there wont be a fabulous Hogmanay Ceilidh in the village hall this year!

Plans are firmly afoot. A band is pretty much organised. And we’re just about to start peeling all those spuds for the stovies … Keep one eye here over the coming days, and all will be revealed. Garvald, you will go to the ball!
