Archie and Ava set to star
Primary seven pupils Archie Barr and Ava Evans were named as Tweedbank’s Lad and Lass for 2023 on Saturday evening.
Eleven-year-old Archie, a keen footballer who also plays netball and basketball, is proud as punch to represent his community.
His mum Alana told us: “He’s on cloud nine! He’ll take this role very seriously and he says he’s not going to waste this opportunity.

Ava, also 11, enjoys going out with her friends, watching movies and art.
Her mum Danielle said: "Ava is so happy and excited for Fair Week, it’s something she’s always wanted to do.
"She can’t wait to be on the horse and cart on Fair Day.”
Fair Week takes place from May 27 to June 3.
