Walking the Dog is now sold out. It cost £370 to print and over and above that I<br />
was able to donate £300 to church funds in September. The reprint of What were<br />
we like??!! (300 copies) cost £499 and I have just recently recouped that. Sales<br />
have been good in the run up to Christmas but understandably will slow down now<br />
and hopefully pick up in the summer.<br />
My thanks to Douglas Whitie for stocking these books and for his invaluable advice.<br />
Junior Choir and Eddleston Voices<br />

Eddleston Junior Choir singing for ‘Children helping Children’<br />
On 23 rd December 2017,<br />
Eddleston Parish Church<br />
Junior Choir sang in the<br />
Tesco Store in Peebles<br />
for 30 minutes and<br />
raised £59.88. They<br />
decided that they wanted<br />
to give the money to a<br />
children’s charity and<br />
after discussion, Tweed<br />
Togs was chosen. Our<br />
photograph shows Grace<br />
Wise presenting Mrs.<br />
Susan Walker with the<br />
donation. Also present are Rev Calum Macdougall, Helen Cobb, Hazel Craigie and<br />
Sheena Hall from Tweed Togs, and Lorraine Mulholland Junior Choir Musical<br />
Director. Tweed Togs is an initiative run by local volunteers in Tweeddale. The<br />
charity supplies good quality, donated children’s clothing, carefully packed in gift<br />
bags, to struggling local families. It has talked and listened to people and gathered<br />
information from every corner of the community. The group works via referrals<br />
from Health Visitors, Social Workers and other Family Welfare Professionals. Tweed<br />
Togs has no direct link with the recipients. For further information about the charity<br />

Eddleston Church Cleaning<br />
Monday 26th February at 9.30am. If you are free please come along and help us to<br />
keep on top of the cleaning at Eddleston Parish Church. The more volunteers we<br />
have the less time it takes.<br />
Calling all gardeners!<br />
A wee reminder that the Christian Aid Week plant sale will be on Saturday May 19 th<br />
and while it’s not exactly gardening weather just now we can still start preparing<br />
by thinking about which plants could be divided in the spring or seeds sown or<br />
cuttings taken. Please contact John Hutchinson (St Andrews Leckie) for more<br />
information (01721720885/jhutchinson0444@btinternet.com)
