Burns Night

January 24th 1997 Photographic Action (and Names to Faces)

This was the first time for years that Burn's Night was celebrated at the Sports Club. In all, almost 40 members came down to enjoy the fine Haggis and full three course menu, prepared and organised superbly by Alasdair Wertheim.

Below is a pictorial display of some of the evening's highlights.

Karen piping the haggis in Karen piping the Haggis in - which is being carried by Simon, still in his DJ.
Earnie addressing the masses, with his flashing bow tie not far behind
This lot still standing, hmm, only just. About 2.00 in the morning, shortly before the party round at my house (bad move)
Watsy and Earnie Rare sighting of Earnie and Watsy having a drink. Notice also the extra-ordinary arm or Earnie, he's got another growing out of this drinking elbow.
