Lesley Duncan gave the Toast to "The Immortal Memory of Robert Burns". Sheriff Vincent Canavan gave the Toast "The Lasses". The "Reply for the Lasses" was made by Dr Winifred Ewing. The Top Table and later the Haggis was piped in by James Beaton on the Higland Bagpipe and we later heard Dr Martin Lowe on the Lowland Bagpipe.

Celebration Dinner 9 NovemberThe emphasis was definitely on socialising rather than speechifying though this excellent opportunity was taken by our President and Lay Vice President to thank all those who had helped make the first phase of the restoration of 185 Bath Street a success. Many thanks to Inverarity Vaults for donating the champagne which started the evening with a fizz, to the chef and the Club staff who served a marvellous dinner and to Richard whose piano playing gave some of us the chance to dance till midnight.- Click on the thumbnails for a larger image | |||||||||
