We look forward to welcoming visitors, exiles  and the local community to Coldstream for our Annual Civic Week, this year starting on the 6th of August. With the past few years commited to the history books we can look forward to another fantastic Common Riding Season. Our Chief Marshal, Hope Leifer, has worked hard throughout the year to bring us what looks to be some excellent Ride-Outs, tweaking previous routes and going back to tracks not travelled for many years. Hopefully like the Chief Marshals who have gone before her she will make it a week to remember.

To our three lads Harry, Jake and Chris, you have done us proud this summer and now its our week and your time to repay the hospitality shown to you throughout the Borders. Enjoy every minute of it, take it all in, as the memories you make will last a life time.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish our Silver Jubilee Ex Coldstreamer, 1998 Colin Virtue, Golden Jubilee Ex Coldstreamer, 1973 Raymond Dickson and Diamond Jubilee Ex Coldstreamer, 1963 Raymond Brydon  and their families all the best for 2023. I am sure this year will bring back many happy memories from 25, 50 and 60 years ago.
