A BIG thank you to all those that came along to the annual hall maintenance day. The working party, ably led by Lee Robertson. did a great job, as demonstrated by the before & after pics below.

Our next event is the AGM which will take place in the village hall on Tuesday 27th October at 7:30pm.

It would be lovely to have a good turnout. I promise you won’t end up having to join the committee! Unless of course you want to.

As usual it will be followed by the opportunity to have a chat over a glass of wine and a bite of cheese.

Hope to see you there.

Maintenance Day Reminder

Just a gentle reminder that we’re holding “Maintenance Day” to clear the weeds on Sunday 4th October at 2pm at the back of the village hall.

Strimmers, rakes, secateurs etc. will be the order of the day. Oh and don’t forget your gardening gloves!

Hope to see you there. The more the merrier and many hands make light work.

Thanks, Lee Robertson

Cleaner Required for Garvald Village Hall

Do you, or someone you know, have a spare couple of hours every fortnight? If so, perhaps you could use them to help keep the village hall clean and tidy, while getting paid to do so.

We are looking for a cleaner to do a couple of hours every two weeks at £15 per hour i.e. £30 per fortnight. The times can be flexible to suit.

Additionally, there will be a need to do occasional bigger cleans after events such as weddings which would be remunerated accordingly.

If you are interested please contact Gary McGregor at garvaldgary@hotmail.com or call on 07393 204122.

Garvald Village Hall Needs You – Maintenance Day

Hello Garvald,

Once again nature has taken over at the back of the village hall. We’re holding a “Maintenance Day” to clear the weeds on Sunday 4th October at 2pm.It usually takes less than 2 hours depending on how many volunteers turn up.

Strimmers, rakes, secateurs etc. will be the order of the day. Oh and don’t forget your gardening gloves!

Once we’ve cleared the area we’d like to have a discussion about how to replant this area in a way that allows it to re-wild whilst also being manageable for access and maintenance etc. This was raised as a suggestion at the Coffee/Ideas session held earlier this year.

Hope to see you there!
