Garvald’s Resilience Team training exercise will be on Sunday 22nd September. Apologies for the technical malfunction (date typo) in the previous post. This has now been corrected. Please contact Penny if you would like to be involved.
On the morning of Sunday 22nd September Garvald’s Emergency Resilience Team will be taking part in an Emergency Exercise in Garvald. The Team will undertake a short search of the area around the graveyard and then, together with around 20 members of Borders Search & Rescue Unit, will move the search up to around the Thorters reservoir area. The exercise should be completed by 1.00 pm and Garvald Village Hall will be used as the Control Centre.
Please do not be alarmed at the arrival of the vehicles from the Search & Rescue Unit or the Police – this is a planned exercise designed to test the Emergency Resilience Team and the Search & Rescue Unit and a search will be taking place for a missing adult and child. We will be following proper procedures and, as the safety of our residents and volunteers are taken very seriously, we would be grateful if only the members of the Resilience Team can gather at the Hall, graveyard and Castle Moffat/Thorters area that morning.
We hope that a real missing person search will not need to be take place in the future but it is sensible for the Team to be prepared just in case.
If you would like to join the Emergency Resilience Team and take part in this exercise please contact Penny Short as soon as possible using the form below.
If you would like to help with preparing refreshments for the volunteers at the hall I would be very grateful – please let me know if you can help.
Thanks,
Penny

Seasoned musician Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper) discovers & falls in love with struggling artist Ally (Lady Gaga). Ally has almost given up on her dream to make it as a singer, when Jack coaxes her into the spotlight. But as Ally’s career takes off, the personal side of their relationship starts to crumble, with Jack fighting an ongoing battle with his internal demons. Fantastic performances all round, with Lady Gaga tipped for Oscar success.

What fabulous sunny weather for our annual village show! Thanks to all our volunteer helpers and organisers. Also thank you to everyone who came along and took part. Full results are available on the Garvald Horticultural Society page.
Due to the awful weather we have decided to downsize the Fun Day on Saturday. Sadly we’ll not be having the bouncy castle, inflatable slide or bungee run – or pizzas. However, we will run some races either in the hall or outside if the weather improves. Races will begin at 3pm and we hope to still have a (very wet) boat race to finish. So please join us if you can and let’s have some fun in spite of the poor weather.
All are invited to a concert at Nunraw Abbey on Friday 30 August at 6.45 pm in the Community Refectory. A chance to visit the Abbey and enjoy music performed by violinist Michael Grube. There will be light refreshments after the concert and an opportunity for donations to the Professor.
