EVERY seat was filled in
Newcastleton village hall for the annual Holm Show coffee morning last Saturday.
It’s always one of the most popular events in the community’s calendar and this year was no exception, with more than £570 raised for show funds.
Philip Hedley, chairman, warmly thanked all the volunteers and helpers and appealed for more people to join the committee or simply come on board as helpers because they’re vital to the show’s success.
The Holm Show is always held on the last Saturday in August but there’s plenty to look forward to before then.
The next event in the show’s schedule is the quiz night in the village hall on Saturday February 22 at 7.30pm. It costs £5 a person which includes supper and people can take part solo or in teams of up to four.
For more information contact Jenny Nixon on 01387 808789 or email theholmshow@googlemail.com
