Yetholm Community Council meets on the last Tuesday of every month - with the exception of December - in the Youth Hall at 7.30pm (from May 2018). All these meetings are open to the general public and provide an opportunity to join in with matters and debates which directly affect the village. In addition to Councillors, the meetings are also attended by the local Regional Councillor from Scottish Borders Council and, duties permitting, the local police officers. The A.G.M. is held each April at a venue and time as publicised.

The Council would pay for the training and the only commitment is that once trained you would be willing to attend at least one event per year to provide First Aid Cover if required.
 
There will be a Basic First Aid Training on Wednesday 17th October from 7 – 8.30pm in the Pavilion.
 
Please contact Susan Stewart on 420231 if you would be interested in taking up this opportunity.
