News and Events

Commonwealth War Grave Week (11th-19th May)

Commonwealth War Graves Week is organised each year by the Comonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) to remember the 1.7 million men and women who gave their lives in the the two world wars of the 20th century.

To mark this event, Fiona Dunlop, an official CWGC guide, will be leading two guided tours of the memorials within Peebles (St. Andrew's) Cemetery. The first will take place at 12.00am on Friday the 17th of May. This will be followed by a second tour on Saturday the 18th of May at 2pm. Several of our members attended one of Fiona's tours last year and noted that it was most interesting and informative. Tickets are free but places should be reserved in advance because tours with fewer than three participants will be cancelled. To learn more or book a place please click here.

Committee Meetings

The committee will be holding its next meeting on Tuesday the 21st of May at 7.30pm. If you have any concerns, or would like to contact the committee, please contact us.
