Becky Scott, who recently opened the Kelso Slimming World group, says: "Christmas and New year holidays is a wonderful time of year with so much to celebrate, but if you’re feeling unhappy with your weight it can also be a very difficult time – there’s the fear of feeling uncomfortable in every party outfit and the worry that you might lose control completely and end up heavier than you were before. Tuesday 5.30pm & 7.30pm Gordon Fox Dance Academy, Kelso Tel: Becky 07856379432 Each week in our group we have been sharing recipes, advice and ideas for coping with potential challenges. From parties to January sales shopping trips we’ve helped one another to rediscover the magic of holidays while still achieving our dreams. "People often think it sounds too good to be true, but by making some careful choices and getting the right support it is possible to get through the holiday and start the new year without gaining more weight, our members can look forward to a new year and a new lifestyle. The Kelso Slimming World group is held every Tuesday at 5.30pm and 7.30pm at Gordon Fox Dance Acadamy. New members can simply pop along or call Becky on 07856379432.

But don't worry, Spring will be with us soon and we can now spend useful time planning what we are going to do with the garden this year. Now that Christmas is past we can really turn our thoughts to the season ahead. January is a good month to evaluate the previous year in the garden. Did you manage to grow enough vegetables to keep you going right up to Christmas? Gardening magazines are fond of telling us that we should be able to produce vegetables all year round - they've obviously never experienced an average Scottish Borders winter! I tend to think of it as being a successful year if the majority of vegetables on the table at Christmas have come from the garden. So this year we've grown enough leeks and parsnips, but need to grow more carrots. These three vegetables store well in the ground - that is you don't have to harvest them until you need them. They'll sit quite happily in the ground until you're ready. In fact parsnips improve with the frost. It's the time of year to get your Kelsae Onions sown. You should sow them into trays filled with a fine compost which should be firmed gently. Thinly scatter the seeds on the compost and cover with about 1/4 inch of sieved compost. The ideal temperature for germination is 15-20⁰C, so place in a propagator, heated greenhouse or a suitable window sill. Once the seeds have germinated and have sprouted they need to be kept at about 18⁰C for around 2-3 weeks. After this they can be kept slightly cooler, but need good light and ventilation. Once they have developed leaves and are big enough to handle they can be pricked out individually into cells or small pots to grow on before you plant them outside, usually in early May. You should plant them into ground that has been well dug and manured over the winter - that's something you could be doing now to burn off some of those excess Christmas calories. A pH of about 7 seems to work best, so you might need to add lime if your ground is too acidic. An application of Blood, Fish and Bone is useful too, to give them a good start. If all the sowing and pricking out sounds too complicated, then simply phone me at Woodside to place an order for plants which we grow for you at Newton Don. These will be ready towards the end of April (depending on the weather) and are ready for planting out in early May. I would urge you all to have a go at growing this wonderful exhibition onion and to consider taking part in the Autumn Flower Show held annually in the Tait Hall and organised by Kelso Horticultural Society which has various categories for Kelsae Onions. If that seems a bit daunting, why not hold your own competition for the heaviest onion with your friends and neighbours? You should also keep an eye open for damage to the garden at this time of year - from snow, winds or hares and deer, and protect plants accordingly. Upright conifers can be tied up with strong twine to stop them being forced open by the weight of heavy snow, and branches that have been snapped by the wind should be neatly pruned to a bud and treated with "Seal and Heal" to prevent infection. Susceptible plants should be protected from animal damage with tree guards for individual plants and a frame of chicken netting for groups. Plants that are prone to very cold icy weather should be protected by horticultural fleece to keep them cosy. But don't worry - the evenings will soon start to get longer and the better weather will be with us before we know it! In the meantime, Happy Gardening!

We have been calling for change to this broken system back in 2005 so better late than never! The announcement affects purchasers in Scotland as well as those throughout the rest of the United Kingdom and came into effect on 4 December. It won’t have gone unnoticed that this follows hot on the heels of the post referendum Scottish Government’s announcement that they will reform Stamp Duty in Scotland but with the uniquely Scottish system delayed until 1 April 2015. After that we will have two systems running in tandem and in some sectors of the market this will provide a stark contrast on the tax levied on purchasers, depending on what side of the Border the property lies on, so it will no longer be the same both sides The Tweed! Both schemes address the unfairness of paying increased rates on the whole of the price if the price exceeded the set cut off points. This inevitably led to a “black Hole” at the margins and was particularly pronounced at properties around £250,000 where it jumped to 3% and buyers were reluctant to pay an extra £5000 or more in tax when the price was over that cut off. This also affect the lower end with a sudden jump at £125,000 from exempt to paying over £1250 and sellers invariably lost out and had to compromise and sell below value or risk losing the sale. The good news is that will no longer be a factor and buyers will face a bonus of little or no stamp duty. The real winners from the changes will be those buying just over the threshold for example a purchase at £140,000 was £1400 and will now be £300 and after April in Scotland that further reduces to £100. As prices are likely to firm up as sellers grow in confidence smart buyers may be wise to buy early and it’s worth remembering Scotland now shares the full benefits with the rest of the UK with all buyers able to take advantage of the “new” UK rates with immediate effect. As well as encouraging buyers this also addresses the fear of a stalled property market due to buyers delaying their purchase until April to take advantage of savings. Taken as a whole for the vast majority the changes are a positive, particularly the end to the blanket application of rates to the whole of the price, and the changes introduce an initial allowance £125,000 (increasing to £135,000 for Scotland only in April 2015) which isn’t lost as you progress up the scale similar to income tax allowances. On the downside, higher value properties will be major losers and after April in Scotland only any property over £250,000 will attract a 10% band rate as opposed to the current rate of 5% which will continue to apply over the border. In Scotland, the level at which you will be paying more has now reduced from the cross over point as announced at the time of the Scottish Government’s announcement from about £335,000 to £253,000 and the post April comparison of the 5% rate for the rest of the UK to 10% in Scotland flags up a significant extra cost to buying in Scotland above that level. Here in the Scottish Borders there are a significant number of buyers who move here from down south and if they are discouraged from buying on our side of the Tweed we risk losing the benefits of that inward investment with knock on affects for building industry and the wider local economy. While it might be an unusual time of year to commence marketing if your property is likely to be in the higher price bracket it would be wise to consider marketing early in the hope you attract a New Year buyer keen to avoid extra costs. It’s never too early to market your property and both sellers and buyers should act now to beat budget increases.

Well normally I spend each Christmas addition telling all you lovely fellow dog owners about the perils of our festive period on their tummies and your carpets, oh not forgetting the poor vet who would love to put his or her feet up for the day without any call outs. Guess what, I am not going to go on about those horrors this year. No mentioning the poor wee dog that ate the glass or plastic bauble off the Christmas tree or the one who opened the wrapped box of Chocolates then ate them packaging, foil and all. No, I’m not going there because you will all think I am a “meanie” who doesn’t treat her dogs to a wee bit extra at Santa time. Someone who doesn’t hide, “so they won’t see their pressie and spoil the surprise”, well yes I do, I am as bad as the rest of the dog loving population. So I will not go on about giving them way to much extra turkey with a couple of roast spuds, a kilted sausage or maybe two! Oh and don’t forget the mash and gravy. What is really odd, it’s eaten with so much gusto and looks lovely for them BUT when it is ejected with as much gusto from the rear end it doesn’t look like the lovely dinner they enjoyed only a few hours earlier and the smell is definitely different. The one word of warning I will give this year, which a few of the more greedy naughty breeds have fallen foul of, oh and they will often be the bin rakers is, PLEASE, PLEASE make sure you dispose of the yummy smelling tin foil so Fido cannot get hold of it and eat the lot, it makes them REALLY, REALLY sick. Well, see I haven’t gone on at you all or bent your ears trying to give everyone, Fido included, a peaceful and calm Christmas and New Year. On that note remember, when the cooking, washing and playing “mine-host” gets too much, just think how lovely it will be to get everyone out on a super walk which Fido will enjoy. The added bonus of an extra Christmas present, “a fun walk2”, with the most important people in their world! When you get back kids and dog will be worn out and just want to sleep while you relax. Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year to all my 2 and 4 legged friends, I look forward to seeing you all next year. Have fun!

Our small team worked very hard again to make it a successful event, hopefully providing something of interest for all of our many visitors Broomlands & supportersPrimary we hadSchool on the night. With you We received many donations for our Christmas Raffle & Stalls from Parents, Supporters and Businesses from within and around the Kelso area as well as further afield, far too many to mention individually, but every single one was very much appreciated by the Parent Council, the School and all the Pupils, especially in these difficult economic times. Our Christmas Fair is one of our main fundraising events which help us get those “extra” things for the benefit of the children; however, its success can only be achieved by the help and generosity of our numerous supporters and helpers. Please may I wish all our pupils, parents and carers, supporters, and all Kelso Life readers a Happy New Year.

It has been one year since we set up a Facebook page, to allow you the people of Kelso to see what is going on within Kelso and to have a view on what is going on. I think it has been good and it will get better with your help. I know we keep pushing but as a community I feel it is important to help each other, and look after our older residents to see that they are OK . You can make things easier for them by: Clearing snow from pathways of people who are unable to do it themselves Helping with shopping during severe weather to those most in need By doing anything you can to help. Just going to the door of your neighbour or an older person who lives in your street may be all the help they need. Please ensure all your private property including garages and sheds is secured - keep an eye on your neighbours - not just to gossip - but to keep them safe - there is a lot of bad behaviour in our midst just now - Think Safe please. Theft of Sound Equipment Police are appealing for witnesses or information following a break in at Kelso North Church. It happened between Monday night 24th November and the morning of 30th November 2014. If anyone has any information please contact the police on 101 or Kelso North or ourselves. Our Facebook posts show that some locals are concerned about recent Criminal activity in this area. The Borders are still probably one of the safest, and friendliest places in the UK which is why we are all a wee bit taken aback by recent events. If anyone has concerns about Personal or Property Safety and Security, contact Crime Prevention Officer for advice on the Police Scotland 101 non-emergency number. There is also a number from AGE SCOTLAND - Silver Line Scotland: 0800 4 70 80 90 where you can get equally good advice .Remember that crime is actually quite rare here. In relation to these activities - if we look after each other, these people will never win! There is an ongoing assessment on the town centre. We will meet up with SBC Officers to put right some small points, like Disabled Parking among other things. We have asked the Police to keep an eye on the parking in the town centre as well as in some other areas. I am around the town most days as are most of your Community Councillors. If you have a question please stop us and ask. If we cannot give you an answer we will find out for you and let you know. Community Councillors are volunteers and get no payment whatsoever and no expenses. They are your way in to SBC and other things which are going on within the community. We are always looking for new people to come on to the Community Council. To qualify you must be 18 or over, live in Kelso and registered to vote so if you think you could give up some of your time to help in the community please let me know. It would be really good to see some younger people. One hundred years ago this yea, 2015, men from Kelso who were members of the local TA Battalion 4th Battalion Kings Own Scottish Borderer were sent to Gallipoli. On the 12th July 1915 the Battalion were sent forward to take the trenches in front of them. On that day 4th Battalion lost 18 officers and 535 soldiers in 20 minutes. This was the biggest loss of life in the Borders since Flodden. 41 were from Kelso . There was never a Memorial put up but I hope to put this right this right this year with your help. If you would like to donate to the Gallipoli memorial fund you can hand it in or send it to Shirley at Kelso Hospital . I have also written a book which I have put on DVD format so can be read on your computer, Tablet or TV. It is on sale in Seasons Roxburgh Street, or by post from me. The cost is a donation of £5.00 all of which I will be giving to Kelso High School the help offset the cost of the Battle Field Trip which S3 go on. If you would like to make a donation to this again send it to me, Shirley or Seasons tell them it’s for the High School Fund. Thank you. If anyone has a question they wish to put, to SBC Councillors please send it to me or any member of the Community Council and they will bring it up on your behalf, or you are welcome to attend any of our meetings, which is the second Tuesday of the month.

It’s been quite a season for Melrose-born Sutherland, who joined the club over the summer as a BT Sport Scottish Rugby Academy player and who already has seven caps under his belt. The former Trinity Primary and Hawick High School pupil came through the ranks with his hometown club and school sides before representing the Borders and Scotland at under-17 and under-18 in the back-row. He switched to loose-head prop during his first season of senior rugby at Hawick RFC and, after a season with Biggar, caught the attention of RBS Premiership runners-up and Border League winners Gala RFC. Under the tutelage of head coach George Graham, the dynamic 6ft, 110kg 22-year-old was a mainstay in one of the most imposing packs of the country’s top domestic division, and subsequently earned selection for Scotland Club XV earlier this year prior to joining Edinburgh. After making a first appearance against Leicester Tigers in August’s pre-season friendly at The Greenyards, Sutherland has cemented his place in the 23 sooner than anticipated. This was initially due to injury sustained by Allan Dell during the league match away to Leinster plus Alasdair Dickinson being away on international duty during the autumn viagogo Tests – however, he seized the opportunity with both hands and hasn’t looked back. He said: “When I arrived at the club in the summer I just tried to get as good a preseason under my belt as I could. Then I put pressure on the other props in the squad for a place. “Really, I didn’t think I would get as much game time as I have had to date,” he admitted, “but now I need to kick on and perform consistently.” That consistency led to the try against London Welsh in the European Rugby Challenge Cup on 7 December at BT Murrayfield, one of three scores from the front row in the 25-13 win – and surely one of many more to come.

KELSO ANGLING ASSOCIATION - There was a good attendance at the AGM held on Wednesday 10th December. The main item to note is an increase in membership prices. Trout membership increases from £25 to £30, OAP membership from £5 to £10, youth membership stays at £5 and juniors remain free. The salmon permit increases by £10 tor both town & country members. There are corresponding increases for visitor permits. Salmon returns are now in showing a 45% increase on last year’s admittedly low returns. 119 salmon and 15 sea trout were caught this year. The heaviest salmon, of 22 lbs, was caught by Bill (Wish) Cockburn. The association would welcome applications for membership from anglers new to the area or to local residents wishing to take up what is an excellent recreational sport. Application forms are available from Tweedside Tackle and Orvis. The issue of Salmon Permits day will take place on Sunday 25th January from 2pm to 4pm in the British Legion. Finally may I wish all our members a happy new year and a wish for tight lines in 2015. Tight Lines!

Please mention Kelso Life when responding to adverts 40 A much improved series of performances has put a spring in the step of the Kelso players and supporters alike. A couple of wins in the league over Jed-Forest and Peebles with a narrow defeat to Selkirk gained a total of 9 league points to keep us ahead of relegationthreatened rivals Jed and Biggar and we have also closed the gap on the surprise packet that is Marr. A narrow defeat to Gala in the Booker Border League also showed what we are capable of doing. As I write, we have games against Biggar and Hillhead/ Jordanhill before Christmas and our third round cup match against Musselburgh is due on January 3rd. That is an interesting encounter as our visitors then are riding pretty high in their league and they did a serious number on Peebles in the previous round. We still have injury problems with some players being out for several weeks but, as we approach the turn of the year, we can only hope that their return in imminent. The team seems to be settling in well with the new coaching team of Gary Holborn and Andrew Skeen. Ewan Ford is also helping with warm ups and conditioning. It must be extra hard for the coaches as they are both player/coaches. When did Kelso last kick 2 drop goals in the same match, as Andrew Skeen did against Peebles? The seconds continue to train hard but often for no game with Peebles being the most recent team to concede a match to us. That was a surprise as they are league leaders and unbeaten. Thankfully, some of the seconds have been invited to step up to the plate and perform for the first fifteen. The Quins have had a good month as well and have moved up to 4th place in the semi junior league. A top 4 finish to the league is still a realistic target for the Quins and, with that, will come the chance to play National cup rugby. Mini and Midi continue to go well with the school teams competing very well at the younger age groups, reaching the semi finals of the Regional Schools cup at under 16 level, although they lost their recent match in this competition. Regular victories have been recorded against other Border schools and a recent win over Stirling County at S2 level gave a good guide to their true level as Stirling are regularly successful at age group rugby. The Minis are approaching the winter shut down and with it their Christmas party which will be a quiet affair especially if all 112 registered players turn up! It is planned to run several fund raisers during the season including the reintroduction of the Club Ball to be held on Saturday 17th January. Tickets for that are still available but as I write the Christmas Lunch has been sold out. By the time you read this, 6 Nations International tickets will probably have been distributed. The French game has been extremely popular and a few wealthy members will be heading for Twickenham. £85 for a ticket and that is not even in the Royal Box! Members just don’t seem to be interested in the games at Murrayfield. As we did well in the November tests, this is a surprise! I am sure there will still be tickets available for the Italy game, possibly the Wales game but, with the Ireland game being a possible Grand Slam or Championship decider at the end of March, I doubt if these tickets will not be snapped up when they go on public release. If you managed to get tickets for the World Cup in England next autumn, I congratulate you. They seem to be as rare as hen’s teeth. The dearest ticket for the competition is only £715 for the final! We launched our new website around 3 years ago and you may check up on what is going on by visiting www.kelsorfc.co.uk . Our thanks go to Ian Anderson for setting this up for us. Michael Lyall is the webmaster. [email protected] will catch up with him if you want to get anything related to the club put up on the website. The clubrooms have been busy with functions but it is never too late to book the premises. Both upstairs and downstairs may be booked as well as the kitchen. Any members who wish to hold an event in the clubrooms should arrange a booking through Douglas Bell, the Club Steward. In some cases, we may have to apply for an extension to our license depending on how many members are at an event. We do let the clubrooms out for regular events like line dancing, Zumba dancing, Bingo and University of the 3rd Age. The Committee and Players of the club are grateful for your support in 2014 and trust that you have an enjoyable festive period and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year.
