On Sunday 24th October 2015 at the Peebles Ex-Servicemen’s Club, a presentation took place to express gratitude to some of the local supporters, whom we hadn’t had the chance to thank formally, for the help and contribution they made to a fantastic Memorial Tournament and Family Fun Day on the 30th May 2015.

The event was a huge success due to the support, help and love of the local people who turned out in abundance.
