 | | Mrs van Outen-About Dear Members, I know the turn of the year seems like a long and distant memory by now but I’ll take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year all the same. Now that I am back on my feet and fully recovered from the last 12 months of social engagements, I am looking forward to another year of exciting and diverse events here at the Art Club. Read on to find out what’s happening soon..... Love Mrs V xx | Friday 29th January 2010- Glasgow Art Club Burns Supper  | | Glasgow Art Club Burns Supper 6.30pm for 7pm - £35 This year’s Immortal Memory will be given by the dashingly handsome, not to mention well renowned author, William McIlvanney (ladies, make sure you get a front row seat!!) – a fantastic coup for the Art Club, and a fabulous night promised with contributions from many of our own club members, and pianist John Crawford. There are still a few places left so hurry and fill them before it’s too late. Undoubtedly, the Burns supper is the Club’s premiere social occasion of the year.

I think the last tasting was an education for him if not for those attending! Another jolly night to enjoy a few drams and a nibble – well, I say a few drams, I think the last bottles of whiskey to people ratio was 1:2!
