Conyers, GA Burns Supper

It may seem early yet, but we have already tentatively set the date for our annual Burns Supper for January 16 so as to accommodate a couple of regulars. We'll have as good a fare as ever, a fine program, and several new surprises.

I hope the regular rabble and some newer folks in the area will start planning now. We may have a new venue since I don't know if we can fit in the Celtic Tavern anymore.

Added details to follow, but I would welcome any comments and suggestions now.

I will be there if it is not the same date as the Atholl Highlander's Burns Supper.

Hmmm... it's actually a bit quiet that time of year at the theatre so I'll give it some thought. If I start pedaling now I just might make it.

We;'ve always had plenty of food, and this will not be an exception.

We may have to move to another place this year--unless they agree to our taking over the whole place for a couple of hours--because we were pretty crowded last year. I'd love to stay there since the Celtic Tavern is the perfect atmosphere.

I look forward to your attending. Bring a date.

That's a good news. Once you get off I-16--the most boring stetch of highway I've ever driven--it's a pleasent ride. I'll provide a bike-lock-up.

Bring you wife.

Burns Night It Is

Thanks for the notice. We'll plan to be there 1/17/10 and to have to chance to meet more of the Rabble in person. Health and Wealth to All.
