Decorated Doors Day
Hopefully everybody is looking forward to the Decorated Doors Day on Saturday 28th August. The annual Garvald Flower Show usually includes a sale of produce and it has been suggested that we could do the same thing this year to raise much needed funds for the Village Hall. Any plants or produce or home-baking that you are willing to donate, can be brought along to a stall outside the Village Hall from 1 pm onwards. Many thanks in advance.
Agenda: GMCC Meeting – Monday 23rd August 2021 – Garvald Village Hall
See the link below for the agenda for the first face-to-face meeting of the GMCC since before March 2020.
If weather conditions permit, the meeting may be held in the orchard. Otherwise, social distancing and the wearing of a mask will be required within the hall.
FREE Plants!
There are some Astrantia (pale pink) for free outside 2 Garvald Grange cottages. Bring a bag. Needs planted ASAP.
Giving villagers first dibs.
Pop-Up Police Event
Our local Police will be with us on Sunday 22nd August, outside Garvald Village Hall, from 10.00 – 10-30am should you have any concerns to discuss with them.
