Superb rally weekend

CONGRATULATIONS to the organisers of this year's Jim Clark Rally - what a tremendous success the special street stage in Duns was.
The town was bursting at the seams on the Friday evening as over 4,000 motorsport fans converged on the town centre to witness what was a spectacular start to this year's rally. And there was a similar huge support for the Saturday night stage.
This was, without doubt, one of the best sporting moments Berwickshire has witnessed for many, many years and one can only hope that it will be repeated next year - PLEASE!
The huge amount of organisation which went into this certainly paid off as it seemed to go without a hitch. There are sure to be a few people who were inconvenienced but the advantages to the town far outweighed the disadvantages.
I am not sure if the continental market added anything to the weekend and perhaps it would have been better to either situate it elsewhere or forget about it and keep Currie Street open for longer.
The Market Square could also have accommodated more spectators had it not been for the funfair so perhaps it could be moved to another location next time.
So well done Colin Pagan and your army of helpers and marshalls - a job well done!
