         Burns Supper     

Saturday 30th January 2010

The ritual of the Burns Supper was started by close friends of Robert Burns a few years after his death as a tribute to his memory.   It is celebrated on the day of his birth, January 25th, or as close to that date as is convenient, and more than 200 years after Burns there are literally tens of thousands of Burns Suppers organised around the world, run not only by ex-patriate Scots but also by those who simply admire the famous "ploughman poet".

The Club will hold its third Burns Supper on Saturday, 17th January 2009. Tickets will be shortly on sale from the bar and via the club web site at a very modest price which will which include the stimulating presence of a Piper.   Member's family and friends are warmly invited to attend and to experience this Scottish tradition.

Gentlemen will, of course, wear the kilt if they are fortunate enough to own one and ladies will (with the same caveat) wear a tartan sash. Failing that, the dress code for the evening will be smart casual with every body being asked to wear some item of tartan.   There will be a good selection of house wines, cask conditioned beer and fine malt whisky.

 For the reassurance of those who may have heard alarming stories as to the ingredients of haggis, these days it is made from minced lamb, beef, oatmeal, onion, and a blend of seasoning and spices all cooked together in a natural casing. (But we can also cater for vegetarians.)

Please download the flyer below for further information regarding prices and the night itself!
