Hawick's Wee Explore Colouring-in Competition [now closed]
Within the May 2023 edition of the Project Update we have launched a children’s activity section of the Newsletter, that features a special competition for the children of the town. We have asked that children aged between 5 and 11 years old send us a photo of their coloured in biodiversity riverbank scene to be in with the chance of winning a scooter. The competition is open to those with a TD9 postcode, that would typically receive the Hawick Flood Protection Scheme Newsletter. All entries should be emailed as an image attachment to hawickfloodps@scotborders.gov.uk.
Click the link to download the Children’s Section of the most recent Project Update to print out a copy. Alternatively, an additional copy of the Newsletter can be collected from the Hawick Flood Protection Scheme Compound by asking at reception.
