The Cardrona Summer Fayre was a massive success, we think we had at least 800 people pass through and a great day out for all! Some learning for next year – including more BBQs!
Thanks to everyone who helped – we couldn’t have done it without a great group of volunteers led by Anna Rutherford. We managed to raise enough money to fund several good causes including: the Ukrainian community get-together, the upcoming Cardrona Meet and Eat, and next year’s Summer Fayre.

PLEASE JOIN US!
Cardrona Village Assocation (CVA) Subscriptions: Along with this newsletter is the CVA subscription form. The CVA requests an annual subscription from Cardrona residents to pay for the upkeep of all the village common parts: the Hall, Green, carpark, pump track, playground. It also allows us to put on events for the village and make improvements. CVA members are entitled to reductions on hire of the village hall. Like you, we are facing increasing costs, in our utility bills especially. Those at the AGM voted to retain the fee for 2022 at £30 per adult in each household. Every CVA subscription enables the Village Hall to remain open. Please do support your village facilities by paying your annual household CVA subscription.
If you are able to support the CVA, please transfer your subscription fee and return the completed Gift Aid form – see accompanying form. The additional Gift Aid tax-relief boosts your subscription to £37.50, representing a big increase for our little group. Once you’ve completed and submitted the Gift Aid form, we don’t need it every year (but we do need it once!).
CVA Volunteers: The CVA is managed by a small group of Cardrona residents who volunteer to keep the heart of community in Cardrona alive. If you have some time/skills available to support the CVA, please get in touch. Your help would be gratefully received!
Amazon Smile: We now have the CVA as a charity you can choose from in Amazon Smile so please do set us up on your Amazon Smile page. It’s easy to do and means you can help the Village whilst you shop!
GET IN TOUCH
Want to keep in contact electronically? In the subscriptions form we’re asking for an email address – it would be great to have them to avoid paper-based, delivered newsletters, though we shall continue those for people without email.
If you have anything to include on the website or in future newsletters please get in touch at: info@cardrona-village.org You can also sign up for email updates on the website: CVA Newsletter Sign-Up.
