A big thank-you to all those CVA members who voted to amend the constitution which now allows the village to apply for funding to upgrade the Pump & Jump track. The new constitution can be viewed here:

It’s with great regret that the CVA has been forced to cancel tomorrows Summer Fair due to the horrendous weather that is forecast for the afternoon. The toddlers group will be in the hall between 1 & 3pm to sell the cakes that have been prepared & also to run the tombola.
We’re looking at re-booking the activities for a Saturday in September, so hopefully we can hold this event in drier weather & hope people can still make it along!
Apologies to all those who were looking forward to this event – we really had no choice with the very high likelihood of heavy rain spoiling the sporting & other activities.

We’re holding an open gathering this Friday in the village hall to explore ideas around events & activities that could be organised in the village this year. In particular, we’re hoping to discuss what form a summer event could take, so we’re looking for people with suggestions & people who can help co-ordinate/run things.
If you have ideas or would like to volunteer your time/skills, we’d be delighted to see you at the hall at 7.30 this Friday (18th March) – please let us know in advance is you wish to attend. Please pass this on to anyone you think may be interested – especially if they have been involved in previous village activities.
If you can’t attend but would still like to volunteer time or ideas, please send us a message to info@cardrona-village.org.

Secretary & Trustee – Jenny Culley
Membership Secretary & Trustee – Mark Nethercot
Member at Large & Trustee – Nigel Rutherford
Communications & Vice Chair – John Sharp
Booking Secretary – Robin Waddell

The next CVA meeting will be on Wednesday 9th March 2016 7pm. Should anyone wish to attend or suggest a topic for discussion, please contact a committee member (via Hall letterbox or info@cardrona-village.org).
If anyone has ideas or suggestions about how the CVA could help improve the environment, facility, safety & enjoyment of living in our village, we would love to hear from you. We would also like to hear suggestions for events – fundraising or otherwise. Contact us by email (info@cardrona-village.org) or leave a note in the Hall letterbox.
Do you have a local business to promote, or trades-people to share with the rest of the village? Let us know & we’ll add them to a list for promotion.
You may have noticed that a defibrillator has been installed at the front of the village hall. In the event of a suspected heart attack, please open the cabinet & follow the simple instructions.The unit is intelligent & will not fire if the patient does not need it.
A big thank-you to the very entertaining Peebles Concert Band & all those who helped arrange the great band night on the 22nd January. It was very well attended & proved to be a great success, raising much-needed funds for the CVA.

We will be sharing information & news more widely using online & social media, so please bookmark www.cardrona-village.org & ‘like’ http://www.facebook.com/cardronavillage. If you would like to receive information by email, please let us know your email address & you’ll be added to the distribution list.
As well as sharing CVA meeting minutes on the website, we also plan to display them on the Hall notice boards. Please keep a look out for those appearing.
The annual subscription for the maintenance of village facilities (including the hall & communal areas) is now due & set at £40. Please don’t forget to tick the ‘Gift Aid’ option if eligible, this brings in more money for the village & helps keep future subscription fees to a minimum.
It is evident that there are a number of reasons why some village residents have not always paid the annual fee in the past & the new committee would like to invite comments & opinions on this matter. You can leave comments in the village hall letterbox (anonymously if preferred) or by email to info@cardrona-village.org (the identity of anyone sending comments can be kept confidential if desired).
A massive thank you to The Peebles Concert Band & all who helped make Friday 22nd Jan such a great night of entertainment in Cardrona. There was a great atmosphere in the packed village hall & the music went down a storm. On top of this, over £700 was raised for the village – so a great effort by everyone involved, especially the band. Hopefully this is not the last time they play Cardrona!
