The Weekend Prior to Galashiels Braw Lads' Week
Our Braw Lads' Week starts with the very popular Scottish
Country-Dance, which is held on the Friday evening in the
Volunteer Hall. The Braw Lad, Braw Lass and Attendants attend
and dance the Braw Lads' Reel, which was specially designed
by Mrs Anne Naismith. They then depart to support the Melrosian
at his Ball.
Saturday brings us the school childrens' discos, which are
attended by all the Primary Schools pupils ( over 1200 screaming
kids !! ) where they get a chance to meet and dance with this
years Principals.
The following Sunday is a very busy day for the Executive
Council with the Braw Lads' Sports at Netherdale, where there
is a large number of sporting events including a Borders Principals
Touch Rugby Tournament which is very well supported. Many
other attractions are there, including trade stands, amusements
and of course, the School Childrens' Sports. Netherdale is
preceded by the Kirking of the Official Party, which is held
in the Braw Lads' Church.
