  • GVHT Meeting on Wednesday 13th February – POSTPONED!

    Just to let GVHT committee members know that tonight’s meeting has been postponed – due to the inclement weather, and apologies occasioned by half term. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause … February’s meeting will now take place next Wednesday (20th) at 7pm in the Hall meeting room. Hopefully a near to full compliment of members will be able to make it then.

  • Lots of snowdrops …

    … a few primroses and the odd aconite. But has anyone seen a Daffodil in bloom yet? The first person to report one in the Garvald area wins a (small) prize. And no sticking a cut flower from Tescos in the ground and sending us a pic of it!!!

  • House break-in: remember to keep your homes, sheds and cars locked

    A house in the village was broken into between 25th January and 2nd February. If anyone saw anything suspicious during this time then please contact the police (PCC Steven Dick, 0131 654 5560). If you are concerned about home security, you can contact the police to arrange a crime prevention survey to help make your home as secure as possible.

  • No pilates on Tuesday 4th February …

    Unfortunately, Sue is having to cancel this week’s pilates classes. Given it’s half term the following week, the next sessions will be on Tuesday 19th February at 6.30pm and 7.30pm.

  • Mini-plough?

    A suggestion has been made about improving road and pedestrian access in the snow and whether the community should look into grant applications (e.g. Crystal Rigg) to fund a mini plough for pavements, side roads, the village hall driveway etc. This is a project for the GMCC to discuss and research but if anyone has any comments or alternative suggestions to help keep all areas of Garvald accessible in the snow, please send them in via the Contact Us page and they will be passed on to the Community Council.

     

  • Attention all Zumba-goers!
