  • Attention all you green fingered gardeners!

    At the Spring Table-top Sale on Sunday week, there will be a gardening stall stocked with plants, tools and books … Or there will be if you green fingered bunch can help out and donate some stock!

    Put aside a couple seedlings if you’re potting on. If you’re splitting a plant, think of us and make three rather than two. And go on, treat yourself to some shiny new secateurs – and give us the old ones to sell on!

    The Hall will be open for donations on Saturday 25th April between 4 and 6pm. Or you can always bring them along on the morning of the sale, preferably before it opens at 12pm. If neither suits, Hazel Clark will happily plant sit so drop whatever it is off to her in Burnside Court. Many thanks in advance …

  • Gifford Cub Leaders needed urgently…

    Gifford Cubs is still looking for a new leader (or several leaders, to attend on a rota).
    Alastair McClung will be finishing as leader in June 2015 after 12 years. Many boys and girls from Garvald, Gifford, Morham and the surrounding areas have enjoyed Cub Scouts in Gifford over the years. If no-one steps up the group will be closing down, which will be a real loss to the community.

    Alastair is happy to assist with outdoor activities and camps in 2015-16, but the group needs one or more people to attend as cub leaders on Monday nights (6.00 – 7.30pm) at Yester Primary School to organise games and activities, and help the children achieve their badge awards. You’ll be offered training to assist you, if required.

    If you can help or know someone who would like to take part in this worthwhile opportunity, or you would like more information on what is required, please use the Contact form and we will pass on your details to Gifford Cubs. Thank you.

  • Spring is here!

    For once, the calendar says it is Spring and it actually feels like it. What a blissful couple of days?!

    The Hall’s Spring Sale is just over a month away. There are still a few small (£8) tables left so do let us know if you want one.

    We’re also looking for the proverbial help, both on the day and in advance e.g. home baking. Either drop us a line here or see one of the Trust committee. Many thanks in advance.

  • Spring is nearly here…

    What a beautiful sunny day! Soon the daffodils will be smiling but in the meantime here is a photo sent in by Barrie Ash.
