East Lothian Climate Hub – Energy Saving Measures – Volunteers Required
In an effort to optimise energy efficiency of households, the East Lothian Climate Hub is acquiring a thermal imaging camera for Garvald and Morham. Reports will be issued showing areas of any heat loss and recommended measures to improve insulation .
We are looking for four local volunteers to help. This would entail attending a training course, in East Lothian, and visiting around one household per week during the six months of winter/cold weather.
If you are interested in helping, please complete the contact form, below:
GMCC Meeting – Monday 3rd June at 7.30pm – Garvald Village Hall
The agenda for the Garvald & Morham Community Council meeting on Monday 3rd June at 7.30pm in Garvald Village Hall can be viewed here:
PUBlic Philosophy at The Garvald Inn – Wednesday 5th June
On Wednesday 5th June, 8-10pm (not Thursday as usual), we will have an ad hoc PUBlic Philosophy event. Pascal Brixel (from Northwestern University in Chicago), Jan Kandiyali (from the University of York), and Barry Maguire (University of Edinburgh) will attempt to make a case for Twenty-First Century Communism. We will offer a moral argument rather than an economic one, and rather than offering criticisms of capitalism (which is shooting fish in a barrel) we will develop a positive case for a radical alternative, based on the value of solidarity in our productive lives. All welcome as always. ¡Viva la Revolución!

Garvald Village Hall Update
The Garvald Village Hall Committee want to provide an update for the village on the hall and upcoming events and actions.
The committee are currently working with a range of building specialists to obtain surveys and quotations for remedial work required to ensure the longevity of the building for use by the village for many years to come. The works will be scheduled around regular bookings as far as possible and plenty of notice will be given.
There are five weddings happening in the hall this year which is wonderful as it is super to see the hall being used for such happy occasions; the weddings also provide essential funding.
The committee would also like to remind villagers that they are available to facilitate and support with any events individuals or small groups wish to arrange. Some examples that have happened in the past and some current suggestions are as follows:
Fancy dress party
Formal ball
Burns supper
Table Jumble sale
Village Monthly Sunday lunch
If anyone is interested in taking on arranging a Village Event, please do contact the GVHT committee. You can use the contact form, below:

An offer has been received to purchase Garvald Church which is acceptable to the Church of Scotland Trustees.
An entry date of 17th May has been proposed for the sale and accordingly, with great sadness, it is likely that Sunday 5th May 2024 at 9.30am will be the last service to be held by Garvald and Morham Parish in Garvald church.
We look forward to welcoming everybody who would like to attend.
Tea/ coffee and cake will be served in the Stables after the service.
Neither the Stables not the Glebe are included in the sale.
