Burns Night..
The 5th February was the club’s Burns Supper; a fine event - if slightly late!
Fill up your cups with generous juice as generous as your mind and drink with one the generous toast
The Bard o' human kind
All in traditional form under the chairmanship of Ian Brunton, Roderick Skinner launched events with the Selkirk Grace.
The haggis was skirled in by Audrey Clark, led in by by Matt MacLachlan (as Poosie Nancy!). And roundly addressed by John Thomson.
An excellent and traditional meal was served by the Rockies Restaurant and thence to an interval.
The restart kicked off with Jim McArthur’s Immortal Memory and then a recitation by Alana Sherrit. We continued with a fine Tam O’ Shanter by Callum Smith, The Lassies by Peter Peddie, and a Reply to the Lassies by Pat Hughes.
Musical interludes were led by Miss Jessie Lyon along with members of the club’s choir - including duets by Malcom MacDonald and Douglas Chisholm.
Altogether a most enjoyable evening which was reflected in a vote of thanks by Ann O’ Connell and rounded off with a resounding 'Auld Lang Syne' from the entire company.
And we'll tak a right gude willie waught
