  • Garvald Children’s Poetry Competition 2016

    The poetry competition results have been announced! A big thank you to this year’s judge, poet William Hershaw, for deciding on the winning poems. Thanks to Garvald and Morham Community Council for funding printing of the competition poetry books and providing the book token prizes. Thanks also go to the Scottish Poetry Library for providing poetry anthologies and sets of poetry postcards for the prizewinners.

    Well done to the winners and thank you to all children who entered. If you’d like to read the winning poems, see the Garvald Children’s Poetry Competition 2016 page. If you’d like to read them in paper format, copies of this year’s poetry book with all of the entries will be available to read at Haddington Library and the Garvald Inn soon.

  • Vacancy on the Community Council

    The Garvald and Morham Community Council is on the look out for someone to join as a member.

    Anyone in the local community is welcome to put their name forward and we are particularly interested in hearing from any younger people who would like to be involved (minimum age is 16).

    The Community Council meets once every two months to discuss the issues of the day – from potholes to parking. We also manage the Crystal Rig Windfarm fund which provides funding for local projects. It’s a great way to be involved in the life of the village and to help get things done.

    Anyone interested, please get in touch with the Community Council Secretary, Rufus Bellamy.

  • Grateful Garvald Guisers!

    Thank you Garvald for all the goodies…

    From this motley crowd!
