Some more details ahead of this year’s children’s Christmas party!

Saturday 7th December, 2-4pm

Garvald Village Hall

Ceilidh and Party Tea

Top Secret Visitor – listen for sleigh bells!

Please bring with you:

  • a plate of food (bought or made) to contribute to the party tea
  • a (hidden!) small wrapped gift (suggested max £5-10 mark) with your child’s name clearly marked on it. Please bring these as covertly as possible to the kitchen on arrival at the hall – the elves will then work their magic.

Thank you, and see you on the dance floor!

November Coffee Morning

The November coffee morning will take place on Friday 15th (3rd Friday of the month) at 11 am in the Stables.

A couple of people have already offered to provide edibles so everyone else can relax and sample what’s on offer.

A certain “historical document” will be available to peruse!! Irresistable.

Garvald Main Street Resurfacing Works: 11th – 29th November 2024

Resurfacing works will take place in Garvald between the above dates, weather permitting. The road will be closed to traffic during working hours.

Phase 1 – Western Extent to Burnside Court – Monday 11th to Friday 22nd November

Phase 2 – Burnside Court to Eastern Extent – Monday 25th to Friday 29th November

Cones will be placed in advance, in the relevant area for each phase of the work, and locals are kindly asked to adhere to the restrictions. Diversions will be in place. Parking will also be restricted in the area of Linden Cottage, on the C104, to facilitate the diversions and vehicles turning.

Emergency vehicle access will remain and refuse and recycling will continue to be collected.

For further details on the phases of the work and the areas affected, please see the following link: tellmescotland

The film to be shown on Friday 8th November is a Golden Oldie from 1945 – “I know where I’m going”. The story of a headstrong heroine who knows what she wants, but is waylaid by the elements and an unexpected romance is one of the most lovable films in British cinema history.

Doors open at 7.30 pm. Film starts at 8pm. You can fit in a pre-film supper at the Lanterne Rouge if you fancy!

    We have managed to keep the ticket price for The Garvald Christmas Dinner down at £7.50 per person,  thanks to a very generous donation from the Community Council. Amazingly good value!

    The format of the evening remains the same – the committee organise soup, turkey, ham, sausages, potatoes, gravy, various sauces and drinks. YOU provide the pizazz with salads and desserts. The invitations will be dropping through your letter-boxes any day now but if by chance yours goes astray, just write your own RSVP and return with payment to The Old Schoolhouse, Garvald by 27th November.  (Santa’s sledge is parked outside, disguised as a skip)

    REMINDER: It’s nearly Hallowe’en!

    Calling all witches, wizards, ghosts and other fiendish folk!

    This year’s children’s Hallowe’en party will be on Thursday 31st October, 5:30-7pm.
    Meet in your spookiest costume at Garvald Village Hall (5:30pm) for guising followed by a Hallowe’en tea party and games whilst the spoils are divided in keeping with Garvald tradition.
    Please bring a plate of food (bought or made!) to contribute to the tea and hand it in at the hall when we meet for guising.
    Garvald Residents: If you are happy for your house to be approached for guising, please leave out a pumpkin or some other form of Hallowe’en decoration – thank you!
