SHOW SUNFLOWER SEEDS – READY TO PLANT
Any children (over 5’s) plus teens wanting to plant dwarf sunflowers to enter into the Village Show – I’ve popped the seeds (variety ‘Baby Face’) in the Hall noticeboard. Please help yourself. They need to be planted April/early May. I’ll put cress seeds (for Under 5’s – cress heads) there as well, but they don’t need planted until much nearer the Show.
PLANT SALE – a reminder that this will take place Saturday 18th May, 2pm outside the Hall.
Thanks, Jo

Yoga Taster Sessions – Garvald Village Hall
By way of introduction, I have been practising vinyasa and other styles of yoga for several years. In mid-June 2024 I should complete a 200+ hour yoga teacher training course, after which it would be my intention to establish regular yoga classes in Garvald Village hall, if there were a demand for that. In advance of that and to assess levels of interest I am proposing to run a number of taster sessions during April. These will be free of charge.
The taster sessions are provided on the basis it is understood I am still a trainee teacher, two thirds of the way through my course, but I do have insurance cover in place.
It would be helpful for planning purposes if people could let me know if they are likely to attend and which class by using the contact form at the bottom of this post. Come along even if you don’t get around to that.

Proposed classes dates and times:
Monday 15th April: Chair Yoga – 10.45 to 11.45.
This class is open to all but is particularly suitable for people who find it difficult to get up and down off the floor. Loose/comfortable clothing should be worn to allow for movement. Please bring a mat if you have one (to stop chair sliding).
If there is sufficient interest further classes will be scheduled for 22nd and 29th April, as part of the taster package.
Tuesday 16th April: Beginners yoga – 6pm to 7pm.
This would normally be taught in a block of 6/8 weeks, focusing on learning basic poses, transitions, and alignments. Please bring your own mat.
If there is sufficient interest a further class will be scheduled for 23rd April, as part of the taster package.
Tuesday 30th April: Vinyasa yoga class – 6pm to 7pm.
Designed for people with some experience of yoga. Vinyasa Yoga is a practice where you smoothly transition from pose to pose, linking movement with breath. It is often referred to as yoga “flow”. You can expect to build strength and flexibility. Please bring your own mat.
If there is sufficient interest further taster sessions of this class can be scheduled in June.
Garvald Craft Group – Introduction to Watercolours
The next taster session is on 11th April 2024 between 7pm and 9pm in Garvald Village Hall.
The tutor is Leigh Roberts (see link for further details), and the taster is an introduction to watercolours. There are still a few places left so use the contact form, below, if you want to join in:
Lucy’s Place: Coastal Geology Walk – applications due by this weekend
SEED EXCHANGE AND PLANT SALE
Seed Exchange – Saturday 6th April, 3-4pm
Plant Sale – Saturday 18th May, 2pm
If you have spare seeds (in date!), or even seedlings, come and swap them over a cuppa in the hall. I’ll also have the seeds for the Kids categories in the Show.
Further ahead, we’ll be having another Plant Sale with proceeds once again going to the hall.
