With the 2022 Braw Lads' Gathering now complete I look back on the events of this year with a sense of a "job well done" by our
Braw Lad, Braw Lass and Attendants.
I must remark on the way that our six ambassadors have maintained the high sense of pride, dignity and honour that is bestowed on them by carrying out their duties in such a considered and respectful manner that upholds the traditions of our town, Galashiels.
Their smiles and dedication are ever present when representing our town and I, along with the Braw Lads' Executive Council, would like to congratulate them all on a "job well done".
I would also like to thank the towns people of Galashiels for their unstinting support as the Gathering was blessed with a large following at all our events. It is gratifying to know that the Gathering remains an important part of the social fabric of our community.
To the "many hands that help" the Gathering to succeed, I would like to thank you for your support, either in kind or by supplying us with goods and services for the many events we hold. We really could not do it without you.
To our "Patrons of the Gathering" - Simply, Thank you! You really are very generous and at a time when we needed you most.
To my fellow members of the Braw Lads' Executive Council and the Ex-Braw Lads' and Lasses Association, I would like to thank you for the enormous effort that you have put into the 2022 Gathering. The teamwork and dedication to ensure that the Gathering continues to thrive is clear for all to see and I have been proud to be the Chairman surrounded by such a dedicated force.
What remains for me now is to wish our Braw Lad, Braw Lass and Attendant's an enjoyable summer and I look forward to working with you once again as we begin the preparations for the 2023 Braw Lads' Gathering.
