Six men in the running for Langholm Cornet

 
 
SIX WORTHY MEN: Back Tommy Hope, Bailey Donaldson, Ewan Patterson Front Callum Henderson, Lloyd Johnstone, Jamie Gormley
 

Common Riding’s future is secure with so many
young men willing to put their name forward

For the first time since 1964, six worthy candidates have put their names forward for the election of Cornet.

Ewan Patterson and Lloyd Johnstone stand for the third time, Jamie Gormley for the second, while Thomas Hope, Callum Henderson and Bailey
Donaldson join them for their first time standing.

All six have a shared passion for Langholm Common Riding which is astonishing, and any one of them would do Langholm proud.

It is a very promising sign that so many of our young men have chosen to stand for Cornet and stands the future of Langholm Common Riding in great stead.
It goes to show that passion, enthusiasm and love for Langholm Common Riding continues to grow and thrive across the generations.

Voting will be held at the Buccleuch Centre from 6pm until 8pm on Friday 10th May.
