Burns Supper
| The Wauchope Hall was packed on the evenings of
both Friday 10th and Saturday 11th February for performances of
the village's annual pantomime. After a break last year, Alistair
Turnbull produced another theatrical masterpiece - Puss in Boots
- which was filled with the belly laughs and satirical bite to which
we have become accustomed. Ross Gillie charmed everyone as Bagpuss,
Liz Brown & Eileen Woodward excelled as his catty friends, and
Zoe Keddie swaggered as the eponymous Puss-in-Boots. For a full cast list and more pictures click - HERE. |

Flood Prevention
| The long-promised flood-prevention project in the Venchen Haugh is underway. Notices have appeared detailing the work which includes fencing-off the river banks and tree planting. Access to the river bank is being retained for walkers, anglers and others. However, the size of the fencing is giving rise to local concern, as is planting of trees. The Bowmont Water is well known for the fury of its flash floods and some are wondering if the fences and trees will survive the next torrent. |

The Border Worthies Burns Supper will be held in the Border Hotel on February 4th. Tom Tokely will propose the toast to the Immortal Memory, while the toast to the lassies will be delivered by Stuart Smith. Anyone interested in attending should contact either Judi Elliot or Alistair Turnbull to reserve a place. A performing newcomer this year will be Jean Hirst of Kirk Yetholm, who will be replying on behalf of the lassies. |
