The Children’s Halloween Party is on Thursday 31st October. Meet at the hall at 6pm to go guising in groups around the village, then back to the hall for the after-party! All welcome.
Any parents that can help with supervising guising groups would be much appreciated.
Fellow villagers please make it obvious with a pumpkin or some decoration if you are happy for the little ghosts & ghouls of Garvald to visit you!
McQueens Dairies will be starting milk deliveries to Morham on Monday 20th October.
Only three Garvald residents contacted me but hopefully deliveries could start if there is more interest in the future.
Any new customers, from either village, should sign up at https://www.mcqueensdairies.co.uk/
A reminder to complete the feedback survey on the proposed outdoor gym project. This survey will be open until the end of the month. We are looking for feedback from everyone in the Garvald and Morham community council area including Morham residents (as part of the project would be to install 2 workstations there). Many thanks.
An Edinburgh Christmas Carol
Royal Lyceum Theatre
Sunday 15th December
The Christmas theatre trip is now fully booked for Morham and there are only four spaces left for Garvald, 76 people!
Eve’s Coaches will be picking us up this year, one from Morham and one from Garvald at noon.
Cost is per person is £5 (with Crystalrig Community Windfarm money generously supporting the rest – real cost is approx. £30 each)
If you know anyone who is new to the villages or a neighbour who might need a nudge to get organised, please do, it makes my job much easier if this is sorted well in advance. Remember, all must be residents of the ward.
A waiting list will be in operation so please let me know if your plans change or that you are still coming but won’t be using the buses.
The Garvald and Morham Community Council minutes from the August meeting are now available on the GMCC meetings and minutes page page.
Check them out on Youtube
Tickets available from David Murray:
East Lothian Council subsidises a number of bus services on routes where no alternative route exists, and where commercial bus operators would not be able to cover their costs if they delivered a service. Where a need is identified, the Council may subsidise a commercial operator to cover a whole route, or part of a route at a particular time of the day.
Do we have need for a public bus service to Morham and Garvald? It is difficult to live here without owning a car? Are there non-drivers, like teenagers or older people who would benefit? Could we see a situation where families could manage with one less car?

You may know that the milk delivery to the villages has recently stopped. McQueens Dairies may be convinced but need a minimum number of customers.
