The exhibition “Amore per Posta” launches on Friday 13th February and features a lovely collection of miniature artworks created by multiple artists, all exploring the theme of love and Valentine’s Day. We’d love to spread the word within the community.

Apologies for the slightly belated post but just a note to say we’re so grateful to everyone who joined us for the Hogmanay Hoolie. There was such an amazing turn out and the ceilidh spirit was in full flow from start to finish. The teenagers brought such great energy to the floor!
The band, Clappy Doo, also fed back to say they had a really brilliant night so we’re delighted to be inviting them back again this December. They would love to share some videos from the night on their social media. If you don’t want to be included, please let us know so we can make sure everyone is comfortable before posting.
Looking ahead, we’re still seeking volunteers to take on the organising of future Hoolies. If you’d like to get involved and help keep this great tradition thriving, we’d love to hear from you. Again you can drop us a line using the email address noted above.
Thanks again!

Fr Leonard from Nunraw Abbey, who has been a regular feature doing his afternoon walk through Garvald for many years, has sadly had to be admitted to a care home in Dunbar for his own health.
I am sure we will all be wishing him our best.
Many thanks to those who took part in the charity Christmas quiz on Friday in the Garvald Inn. I’m delighted to advise that due to their generosity we raised £300 which has been donated to the International Rescue Committee as it was offering to triple-match all donations received.
Grateful thanks to Peter & Elaine for hosting the event and donating the prizes, even though they ended up in the winning team with Barry & Meg.
Hopefully fun was had by all!
