Burns Night Report
January 26th, 2008 - Chris MarshallSeems like the local Burns Night went off well! Thanks to John Witham for these pictures and words:
A traditional party to celebrate Robert Burns birthday was held at the Espigon restaurant. Some 50 people turned up for the Haggis, tatties and neaps which were washed down with copious amounts of Scotch whisky.
The formal delivery of the haggis to Master of Ceremonies Alex Petit preceded his address of the ‘wee timorous beastie’ which he then stabbed to death with actual blood spurting from the frenzied scene. This, we soon realised, was caused by a misguided blow with his dagger to his other hand.
After the meal Ian McKnight insulted the ladies present by comparing them to dogs during his toast to the lassies and Irene Fielden retaliated in vitriolic manner in her toast to the ladies. All very entertaining and light hearted and no offence was taken and, presumably, none intended.
The disco floor was busy until the wee small hours and most people present felt that this lively annual event should continue for years to come.
