     THE 2003 TWEEDBANK FAIR

The 2003 Tweedbank Fair

 Tweedbank Online raised £200 through the community web site from local businesses who in return for a donation to the fair, got a web page designed for them. Pictured above is Alan  handing over the cheque to Lorraine Macrae (Joint Fair Secretary) and Donald Forbes (Fair Treasurer). Thanks to all the local businesses who donated the cash, especially David Roseburgh for all his hard work.
