“The Snoot Field”, Roberton (courtesy of Mr Robin Bell, Borthwickbrae Farm) was the location once again for this
year’s annual family friendly Roberton Show. The prayers for fine weather were answered and we enjoyed a
wonderful day, with attendance up 7%.
Trinity, Wilton, Burnfoot and Drumlanrig & St Cuthbert’s Primary Schools were invited to enter into the 2019 Poster Competition.
The winner will have their poster printed as a banner which will appear at either end of the High Street in Hawick. Smaller A4 posters will be displayed in local businesses.
The judging took place in early July and we are pleased to announce the following results:
The Winner from Wilton School is Sienna aged 11.
In second place is Kristina aged 9 from Drumlanrig & St Cuthbert’s.
The Roberton Show is a great event in the Valley calendar and it looks as though it has the potential to go from strength to strength, just look at the additional attractions planned for this year.
However, for this wonderful family friendly event to continue, we need more volunteers, not only during the week before but also on Show Day.
We’d like to encourage more valley residents to actively support The Show by volunteering to help with any of the following areas:

Despite a cool day, compared to last year's scorcher, the Show was well attended and enjoyed by all who attended.
Thank you everyone for supporting the 2018 Roberton Show

The Roberton Show is held annually on the first Saturday in September in Roberton. For 2018, it's at The Snoot Field with the kind permission of Graham Bell and Anthony Scott-Noble . It is a chance for people from the Valley (and beyond) to get together to enjoy a great afternoon that has something for all the family. From the tea/cake tent to the beer tent, from "whack-a-rat" to "under 10's races", from "Best Hill Cheviot" to "Best Pen of 2 Prime Lambs", from "Best Cabbage" to "Best Flower Arrangement in a Cup and Saucer", There really is something for everyone.
