Gifford Film Club is back
£20 for 8 films or £5 payable at the door
First film is 11 March – The Truffle Hunters
Gifford Village Hall 8pm (doors open 7.30)
Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of old men hunt for the rare
and expensive white Alba truffle. They’re guided by a secret culture and training as well as by the noses of their cherished and expertly trained dogs.
The demand for white truffles increases year after year and with the lack of young people taking up the mantle, the truffle hunters’ secrets are more coveted than ever

Weather Warning Information – Storms Dudley and Eunice
Local householders are advised to take basic precautions such as moving rubbish/recycling bins, garden furniture, and hanging baskets and securing play equipment such as trampolines to ensure they do not cause damage to cars or property if blown over.
East Lothian Council’s emergency planning is closely monitoring the forecast. Meetings of the East Lothian Multi-Agency Severe Weather Group, chaired by East Lothian Council, will take place at regular intervals as we navigate through this bad spell of weather.
ELC teams are being readied to deal with traffic disruptions, fallen trees and property damage.
The council’s contact centre is open 24/7 – Tel: 01620 827827. Out of office hours – 01875 612818.
SPEN should be contacted if there are any power cuts: Phone 105
People are advised to take care if out and about, particularly elderly people and those with mobility issues who may wish to stock up with provisions and stay at home.
However, the public should be aware that the impacts of these storms will affect everyone in East Lothian and so in some cases response times may not be as quick as hoped for.
Free Horse Manure!
Residents of the village (and their human companions!) have offered free mature horse manure to anyone who may find it valuable for their gardens. If you are interested in taking some, please fill in the contact form, below, for guidance on how/where to pick it up. A loan of bags for transportation of the manure are available but it is requested they are returned after use.
