RALLYING AROUND
The vote against a repeat of the Jim Clark Rally in Duns next year seems to be settling down as follows:
Would you like to see the Duns stage of the Jim Clark Rally repeated next year?
Yes [28.3%]
No [71.6%]
Don't Know [0.1%]
(why do the 'don't knows' bother to vote one wonders?)I suspect the habitual voters are back to more vital topics such as should Berwick be part of Berwickshire although the Duns Poll remains THE ISSUE in the Berwickshire News.
Not that the organisers will take a blind bit of notice of any expression of public opinion unless it is in their favour
In the meanwhile the Hutton Think Tank (Rally, Roadworks and Bike Section) have suggested a novel stage for next year, instead of abusing Duns : 'The B6461 Scramble
(A) Close the B6461
(B) Half the cars start at one end the others from the other ( junction with Berwick By Pass)
(C) Simultaneous start from each end
(D) Winner is the car that travels the furthest distance before the race is stopped for health and safety reasons
Fun! And folk in Duns can stroll their streets in safety
Mr Pagan : Over to you

Comments:
B 6461 has enough problems, despite the genius of the think tank. Mind you, it would be rather good for geeing up the Paxton snaildrivers. Let's confine it to Duns again, and only to Duns. There are enough people there to raise a hue and cry which will consign this antique "sport" to the sump of Hades.

Fine. Worth a go as long as it is confined to Gourlay's Wynd and the denizens don't have to move their cars
Make them use Dinky cars. That way they will revive a great British factory instead of wrecking the planet. They control the Dinky cars by crawling on their hands and knees behind them and blowing through a straw.
