Save our hall

IT was great to see the Volunteer Hall in Duns packed to capacity for a fund raising function on Saturday night.
The hall is currently under threat with SBC proposing to end their lease but where else in the town could have accommodated such a big event as the one on Saturday - nowhere.
The new high school certainly is not big enough and it has other probelms regarding catering, bar, etc.
In my mind the council are being a little blinkered with regards to the hall - where else in the Borders would be left without such a facility - certainly not Gala, Hawick or Selkirk that's for sure!
A petition is currently available to sign in Duns shops to support the campaign to save the hall and a public meeting is to be held on April 16 to discuss the subject.
The people of Duns must lend their support to this campaign.
