Statement from Selkirk Common Riding Trust following cancellation of the 2020 Common Riding due to Covid 19 pandemic.
Selkirk Common Riding Trust 4.00am Friday 12th June 2020
Fellow Souters, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls;
As Provost of Selkirk Common Riding Trust, it is my pleasant duty to announce that the Selkirk Marches have been Reared for this year 2020, and our Burgh Lands have been reported to me as"Intact and in Good Order".
This means that our Ancient Traditions have been upheld and the duties of Selkirk Common Riding Trust discharged for this year.
We can now concentrate on Common Riding 2021, planning for which is already well in hand.
Enjoy all that you do today and hopefully all will be back to normal next year.
"Safe Oot, Safe In".
Keith Miller (Provost).
