Thanks to Callants who turned out this morning to rub down and varnish some of our benches in Haylodge park.
We hope to add another couple of picnic tables to the play area at Victoria Park in the near future.

Callants, it is with great sadness that we have to inform you of the passing of Ex Chief Callant Dave Robb.
Dave had been ill for some time and had recently had heart surgery and seemed to be doing well.
Very sadly Irene, his wife, passed away on 4th September making his passing doubly painful for his family and friends.

As many of you know, Dave spent not only his working life but his retirement in education and service to the community, being involved with various charities including Dementia care.
He served as Chief Callant from 2009 - 2012 and continued duties on the Callants council after that.
His eloquence and musical ability have entertained us for many years at our Callants supper, Burns suppers, busking and other functions.

He embodied the true spirit of the Callants, with total commitment to the town, our club and everything we Callants hold dear.

He will be sadly missed by many but at the same time he has inspired many and that will continue.

A great man and a great Callant.

R.I.P Dave Robb

The Callants annual busking competition took place on Saturday afternoon. We had 6 performing acts on the High Street collecting for various charities. They created a lively atmosphere delighting the many visitors to the town.
Each year the club presents the Dennis Todd Shield to the best young performer on the day. Unfortunately this year, no youngsters took part in the event.
The judges, Hendry, Allan and Craig decided therfore to present the shield to a man who certainly attracted attention with his exotic clothes and amazing barrel organ. Julian Goodacre has been a huge musical influence in Peebles for many years not only playing but crafting musical instruments.
Congratulations and thanks to Julian and all the performers for entertaining the crowds on Saturday.

The club held it's annual coffee morning on Saturday 29th August. After costs, we have raised in excess of £1500 which is fantastic. A huge thank you to everyone who came along, donated raffle prizes, fruit & veg and handed in home baking.
Well done to all the Callants (and wives) who turned out on the day to help run the event. We would also like to thank our sponsors Tesco and The Orange Grove for their kind donations.
As ever, all the money raised will go back into the town through various projects and donations to other local organisations and groups.
