All residents are invited to attend the Garvald Horticultural Society AGM on Thursday 11th October (this Thursday!) at 7.30pm. We are looking for some new Committee Members who are willing to commit a small amount of time. Can you come to the AGM and help out at the Flower Show next August?
We look forward to seeing you at the meeting. If you are unable to attend but have ideas for new competition classes for the 2013 Show, then please let us know using the Contact Us form.
Just to remind you that there will be a rollover draw for the 100 Club this Wednesday. If you want to be in with a chance of winning, please pay in your subs (£15) before then. Thank you.

So here’s a wee composition for you …
We concede it’s not very good. But hopefully it’s acted as a reminder!

The latest meeting minutes are now available on the GMCC page.
The winner of our recent Prize Draw for subscribers to our Email updates service is Mike Traynor. He has won £30 of garden centre vouchers, funded by the Garvald and Morham Community Council. Mike came across the website during a general web search and was pleased to read all the latest village news, having spent much time in Garvald with family and friends over the years. He has particularly enjoying looking through the Jubilee Party photos and reading about recent events in the village.
The Prize Draw has encouraged even more people to sign up and we now have over 45 subscribers to our free Email updates service. This has doubled our readership and covers a large proportion of local residents. The Garvald Web Team members are really pleased that so many of you have signed up to keep up-to-date with the latest news. Thank you for your support.
These wonderful clear, but admittedly cold, autumn nights are perfect for stargazing – and garnering inspiration for our Poetry Competition, which is on the theme of stars. Has anyone donned coat, hat and scarf and been out yet?
You’ve still over a month to put pen to paper, and submit your finished composition. The judge is the renowned Edinburgh Makar, Ron Butlin. And thanks to GMCC and the Scottish Poetry Library, there are some fabulous prizes. For more information, please see our competition pages. Good luck!
Many thanks to everyone who has applied to join the new and improved 100 club. We are conscious that there are still a few more applications to come in though. As such, the first draw will be delayed a month. And there will be a “doubler” come October. Please get any outstanding forms to Hazel ASAP. Remember, you’ve got to be in it to win it!
