The Robbie Burns Celebration

The lunch began with the ceremonial piper, Sandy Dewar, piping members to the head table and the haggis to its place of honour.

Doug Robertson addressed the haggis before inviting members to share its bounty. Following lunch, renowned Burns scholar Ralph Turner gave an eloquent address to the Bard by outlining key events in his life, together with a dramatic reading of his immortal poetry.

Doug Clarke accompanied Ralph as he led members in a medley of Scottish tunes. John Macintosh, like many members suitably dressed in Scottish attire, gave a Burns grace before lunch.
