Ex Laddie Phil Hume and Kelso Laddie Mark Henderson are pictured presenting a donation of £300 on behalf of the Ex-Kelso Laddies Club to Kate Fish and Sandy Young of the Kelso Food Bank at their food donation point at Sainsbury's.
A great cause run by Kelso Churches Together with volunteers from Kelso and the surrounding area. 
Christmas Bingo
Following the success of the November Bingo Night a good turn out for our Christmas Bingo Night in Kelso Bowling Club on
Friday 13th December 2019 helped raise a bit extra funds for Civic Week, as well as having a fun night. You know the song, but where is it?
When a song is written in 1937 and then gets painted on a horse transporter in 2019 you know it must strike a chord with someone!!!
That someone is Eric Gillie. Keep your eyes open for it around the area. Click photo to see more photos 2019 Kelso Laddie Declaration Night

About Kelso... Kelso, also known in local Scots as "Kelsae" or in Scottish Gealic as "Cealsaidh" is situated on the banks of the River Tweed at its confluence with the Teviot, Kelso is an ideal place to use as a base for exploring the Borders, the Berwickshire Coast and North Northumberland. Described by Sir Walter Scott as 'The most beautiful if not the most romantic village in Scotland', it has kept that atmosphere which he loved. With a population, today, of just over 6,000, it is large enough to have everything, but not too large to overwhelm. Protected to the north by the Lammermuir Hills and the Cheviots to the south, it lies in one of the most fertile valleys in the country. Being within ten miles of the English border, past history dealt the town a very hard time during the Border Wars of the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries.
