Burns Supper
I can't recall ever having been to one of these before and I suspect this one was not typical
Highlights included:-
-small, loud, bosterious child being reduced to hiding behind his mum at the thought of getting up and reciting The Sair Finger - as she said, "someone get a camera, he's never done this before!"
-at the point of the haggis being piped in the piper (well, chanter, who was a slightly older small child) ran up to the top table to inform them "B says it's the soup first!"
-excellent food - butternut squash, parsnip and sweet potato soup, haggis neeps and tatties then apple and apricot crumble and all for 12 quid
-Mike's Immortal Memory, especially as it became obvious to those who knew him what he was about to sing - his wife cracked up first then half the top table
-Tam O'Shanter from memory, by candlelight
-A toast to the Lassies by a woman (with some great jokes, though I doubt I would have agreed to being named if I had known the punchline!) and the reply by a bloke
-again some of the kids doing poems (a 5 year old) and songs (13 year old). One of them did get fed up and leave before his turn though.
