The Patron’s Scheme
First and foremost, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has become a Patron of Hawick Common Riding since the launch
in 2023. Your contributions help sustain one of our town’s most cherished traditions, offsetting some of the significant costs – now exceeding
£100,000 per year – to keep the Common Riding running. While we are pleased to have made a profit last year, it’s important to stress that the
financial demands of the event continue to rise. Costs are increasing year on year, and ticket sales fluctuate due to many factors, including unpredictable weather. Ensuring the long-term stability of Hawick Common Riding requires continued community support, and the Patron’s scheme is a vital part of that effort. Following the success of last year’s scheme, we are delighted to offer something in return for those who sign up as Patrons.
This year, new Patrons will receive their exclusive Patron’s badge, and also have access to a quarterly newsletter with the latest Hawick Common Riding updates. Becoming a Patron is a simple yet meaningful way to support Hawick Common Riding. The minimum contribution is £10 per year, and you can request a form by emailing commonriding@btinternet.com.
Thank you for your continued support.
