Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner, 2010

I went to the Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner on January 31, 2010. It was a fun night and it wasn't as political as the previous year. The organiser didn't invite lots of politicians and we had more fun. It was almost a non-partisan night.

The food was decent, and Haggis was okay.

Enough talk and here are the pictures.

The Haggis



Getting read to read Burns's A Man's a Man for A' That . I was nominated by Northern Sky. I was asked to read the third verse.

Raphael,

I really want to go to this someday! I love the fusion of the two cultures and it looks like a heck of a party!

As for the Maid Marion...

May I respectfully offer a big "HUBBA HUBBA!"

Nice to see Bruce there!

Cheers

Jamie

That looks like a blast! I will echo here and say that I love the blend of cultures and would love to be there in person some day.

Thanks for sharing Raphael.

I don't know that I understand it, but it sure looks like fun.
