Our Warden of Cross Kirk for 2025 is Rev Aftab Gohar. Aftab was first ordained as a Minister back in 1995 in his home country of Pakistan, however in 2008 had to flee with his wife Samina and their two sons because of extremism.
He moved to Peebles in December 2021 after 13 years in Grangemouth.
Aftab’s hobbies include relaxing in front of the TV, reading and travelling. Aftab has two sons who are now both married and has a 18 month old granddaughter.
Aftab was Warden in 2022 and having just arrived in Peebles in December 2021 had never seen the Beltane and wasn’t really sure what to expect but having seen a few feels he is better prepared for this year.
