Garvald Christmas Dinner
Invitations are now being delivered for the Garvald Christmas Dinner on 5th December.
It’s such a busy time of year that the Yester Primary School Choir Concert is on the same evening. The concert finishes around 7 or 7.30 pm.
We will be delighted to welcome latecomers to the Christmas Dinner so don’t feel you have to miss out on our traditional start to the Christmas season. We will even keep back some soup and save you a seat.
Just indicate on your reply slip that you will be a late arrival because of the school concert.
