Promising Young Woman

The film showing on Friday 8th March in Gifford Village Hall is “Promising Young Woman” starring Carey Mulligan.

It promises style, wit and sharp social commentary! Doors open at 7.30

On Friday 9th February, the film showing at Gifford Film Club is “The Eight Mountains” – an epic journey of friendship and self-discovery set in the luscious scenery of the Italian Alps. Oh and it’s in Italian…so you might want to prepare yourselves with a bit of spaghetti for dinner!

Doors open 7.30pm Film starts at 8. Still fabulously good value if you want to buy an annual membership for £30 ( 9 films) or pay £5 on the night.

A new season of films kicks off on Friday 12th January in Gifford Village Hall with “The Great Escaper” starring Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson. You can become a member of the Film Club for only £30 which works out at a marvellous £3 per film. Or if you don’t want to commit – £5 as a drop-in guest member. Excitingly, we are now able to accept card payments.

The full program will be available on Friday, as well as the usual tea, coffee and biscuits. Please remember a few coins to add to the refreshments saucer!

Everyone is invited to gather round the Christmas Tree at 5.30pm on Christmas Eve for some carol-singing. Carol sheets will be available but a torch might be handy!

The Christmas Eve service in the church will start at 6 pm with more carols and candles and children dressed up as angels or shepherds ( or anything they like), and there will be mulled wine and mince pies in the Stables afterwards.

Think of your favourite carol and start us off at the Christmas Tree

 

 

Well done to everyone who came along to the Garvald Christmas Dinner last night and provided such a feast for us to share. Special thanks to our VIP guests Jean Waddell and Dorothy Nisbet who started the tradition 50 years ago, and Hurray for Hazel and Father Mark who made the speeches. The whole event was masterminded by Liz Leather with a trusty squad  of helpers.

There are still a couple of dishes and serving spoons to collect – Saturday around 1pm just before the children’s party would probably be best or else contact your favourite Village Hall committee member.

Please hand your RSVPs and money to Chiara and Richard at Broomfield House as soon as possible so we can confirm numbers for the Christmas Dinner on 7th December.

And don’t forget to jazz up your Christmas outfit – 1973 style – in honour of the 50th Anniversary!

The film on Friday 10th November is Compartment No 6 in which a Finnish student and an uncouth miner slowly forge a hesitant connection when they are thrown together in cramped train quarters on a journey across Russia to the far north-west. Will definitely get you ready for winter!!
