The Annual Garvald Christmas Dinner – that beloved highlight of the festive calendar – will take place on Thursday 5th December at 7 pm. Please put the date in your diaries now, and look out for the invitations coming through your letter-boxes within the next few weeks.
If there are any teenagers out there who are not studying for prelims that night, or busy with school dances or concerts, and who would like to earn a little bit of extra Christmas cash as they help with serving and washing-up, please could they contact one of Santa’s angels….

And since we fear there are not many teenagers who routinely check the website please could we ask the Mums and Dads to draw this message to their attention.

A huge ‘Thank You’ to all the volunteers who came along and made the day happen – you all know who you are! It wouldn’t have been such a success without you.
The warm sunny day helped with the crowds we had and thanks to them, too, for supporting it.
We raised a whopping £512.03.
Thanks again, everyone, from Anne, Norma and Freda

Thanks also to those who donated and/or purchased cakes and treats and teas/coffees. A total of £76 was raised for the Village Hall and it was lovely to see everyone enjoying their refreshments in the sunshine. A successful day!
A reminder that the Plant Sale will be this coming Saturday, 18th May at 2-3.30pm, outside the village hall. Please drop off any donations on the day after 1pm, or in advance to Malcolm at Whitelaws. Last year the sale was well supported and made £230 for the hall!

The Garvald Village Hall Committee want to provide an update for the village on the hall and upcoming events and actions.
The committee are currently working with a range of building specialists to obtain surveys and quotations for remedial work required to ensure the longevity of the building for use by the village for many years to come. The works will be scheduled around regular bookings as far as possible and plenty of notice will be given.
There are five weddings happening in the hall this year which is wonderful as it is super to see the hall being used for such happy occasions; the weddings also provide essential funding.
The committee would also like to remind villagers that they are available to facilitate and support with any events individuals or small groups wish to arrange. Some examples that have happened in the past and some current suggestions are as follows:
Fancy dress party
Formal ball
Burns supper
Table Jumble sale
Village Monthly Sunday lunch
If anyone is interested in taking on arranging a Village Event, please do contact the GVHT committee. You can use the contact form, below:
