We have been asked to place the following message looking for contestants and contributors for a BBC show.

For the second series of Cowboy Trap, presented by Clive Holland, we are looking for homeowners whose lives and properties are in chaos thanks to 'cowboy' workmen. This is your chance to get the job finished properly, call to account the builders, plumbers, electricians, roofers or joiners who are to blame, and share your experience to help prevent other viewers from falling into the 'cowboy trap'. Filming takes place between now and July 2010, so get in touch now. Cowboy Trap is produced for the BBC by Mentorn Scotland. Contact Vicky.lee@mentorn.com or Call 01414226032

Thought I would give the music festival a try this year after recently moving near by, never been and found it was a great evening. Came along with a couple of friends and didn't realise how big an event it was in Newcastleton although I did no about the mountain biking bit, I would say it is well worth visiting even if like me I though it wouldn't be much good but after going will be back again. Don't normally write in forums but the site kept popping up in my local searches so here I am.

I had a thoroughly great time at the folk festival, spent a lot of time round at the marquee tent at the Liddesdale Hotel, I would recommend it to anyone as I was able to get a seat, sit back and enjoy the music. The campsite was a bit crowded but I love the atmosphere will be back next year thank you Copshaw Holm!!!
