On Friday 5th December 2025 St Mary's Melrose club held their annual dance in the Corn Exchange Melrose. Despite the very bad weather a good number turned up for the dance, some from the Duns area and Newcastle. Lyn arranged a mixed programme with some easy dances but also some more challenging ones. Her calling was as usual very clear and precise. The musicians were Alasdair Macleod and Colin Dewar who played some great tunes  and have been booked for next years dance
