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!

    Hogmanay Hoolie success

    Apologies for the slightly belated post but just a note to say we’re so grateful to everyone who joined us for the Hogmanay Hoolie. There was such an amazing turn out and the ceilidh spirit was in full flow from start to finish. The teenagers brought such great energy to the floor!

    The band, Clappy Doo, also fed back to say they had a really brilliant night so we’re delighted to be inviting them back again this December. They would love to share some videos from the night on their social media.  If you don’t want to be included, please let us know so we can make sure everyone is comfortable before posting.

    Looking ahead, we’re still seeking volunteers to take on the organising of future Hoolies.  If you’d like to get involved and help keep this great tradition thriving, we’d love to hear from you.  Again you can drop us a line using the email address noted above.

    Thanks again!
