For this month only Councillor John McMillan will be holding his surgery in the Village Hall in Garvald on Monday 20th May (instead of Thursday 16th May). The time remains the same… 5.15pm to 6.00pm.
For future reference, Councillor McMillan holds his regular monthly surgery at Garvald on every 3rd Thursday of the month at 5.15pm.
A wee reminder that it is the annual village plant sale this Sunday, between 12pm and 3pm in the Hall. Come along for browse – there will be plants and gardening equipment on sale, along with a few craft stalls. Lunch will also be available – and/or plenty of cake! If you’d like to help in any way, please do drop us a line. Otherwise, it’ll be good to see lots of you there!
The latest winners are as follows:
Well done to you both, your cheques are on their way!
… Emily Florence Eachus, who was born on April 14th weighing 6lb 12 oz. And congratulations to proud parents, Heather and Alex.
If you haven’t got one, and think the children might just like one, then here’s your chance! The McGregor family are looking to move their 7ft one on – and are prepared to gift it to anyone willing to take it away. Needless to say, first come first served. Give Caroline a ring on 830349.
Tickets are now available for the village wine tasting event, the first in a long time, on Saturday 8th June at 7.30pm in (and around) the Hall (if the weather is up to scratch!)
The price is £6, and entitles the bearer to a selection of wine and nibbles. There will also be a specialist, Ian MacPhail, on hand to give guidance. And he will be selling all his wines by the bottle or case.
If this interests you, then please see Caroline McGregor or any other GVHC member. Alternatively, do drop us a line here.
The next village event will be the Plant Sale on Sunday 19th May, so please start thinking about what you can donate when you are planting seeds and sub-dividing plants in the next couple of weeks. Thank you!
In the meantime, if you are keen to meet up with local friends or meet some new ones, how about a visit to the pub! There will be a Cocktail Night at the Garvald Inn this Saturday (27th April). For more information on this and future events, you can check out their Facebook page.
Dear All
Please take a look at the following police information leaflets, which were sent to the last Community Council meeting. Police_Pamphlet_1 is about stopping the theft of Red Diesel; Police_Pamphlet_2 is about stopping thefts from heating fuel tanks; and Police_Pamphlet_3 is about protecting off-road vehicles.
Hope they are useful.

Time Running Out….Apply by 31st May!Just a reminder about the Crystal Rig Windfarm fund. As you probably know, this is a community benefit fund that is available to enable the community of Garvald and Morham to carry out improvements to their local area in any sphere including the environment, local amenity or tourism.
Each year, the wind farm allocates an amount of money to the community council, who then administer its disbursement to the community.
Application forms are available to download on the GMCC webpage and should be returned by 31st May. For more information, please see the Application Form.
Due to the unfavourable growing conditions, it has been decided to delay the annual plant sale by a couple of weeks. As such, it will now take place on Sunday 19th May. More details to follow. But please, update your diaries. And apologies for any inconvenience caused.
