Dog Fouling in Garvald

There have been a few incidences of dog fouling on the pavements of Garvald, recently.

Not picking up after a dog is disgusting, anti-social, a health hazard and particularly difficult for young children or the partially sighted to avoid.  It is also extremely frustrating for responsible dog owners who may find themselves under suspicion.

Not picking up after a dog also carries a fixed penalty of £80 to £100 and potentially up to a £500 fine if the owner is convicted of an offence.

If you have a dog and find yourself (or your dog…!) caught short without a poo bag, there is now a roll of poo bags hanging in the entrance to the kids’ shelter in the park – help yourself.

Please see the link, below, to East Lothian Council’s process for reporting dog fouling:

Christmas Eve in Garvald

The kirk might not be an official Church anymore, but the new owner is happy for the community to use it this Christmas Eve.
After the traditional caroling on the green (around the Christmas tree at 6pm), please feel welcome to pop along to the kirk for a very casual half-hour or so of extra festive midwinter/solstice/Christmas Eve cheer. Bring a reading or a poem or a song to share (before the kids go bonkers and we all rush off to bed)?

Calling all singers and music -makers!

We will have the usual carol-singing round the Garvald Christmas Tree from 6 pm on Christmas Eve. Please bring bells, shakers, drums and any other instrument you can think of. Carol sheets will be provided.
