Great pictures everyone. I really must find a new job so I can attend this great event one year!

Well done Glen! 
All the SOKS looked great and I'll echo Bradley in saying the venue looked to be perfect for a Burns Night Supper.
It was the great pleasure of the Nor Cal Rabble to exchange Burns Night Supper greetings with our friends (and Grant) the SOKS!
I hope the "An Address to the SOKS" was taken in good fun
Cheers
Jamie

It drove him to drink, I had to make the ultimate sacrifice and give him my haggis to console him. i hope you're proud of yourself! And where is my Maple Leaf Blimp smiley? I was promised a Maple Leaf Blimp smiley. Where's my solicitor?

I would be remiss to not notice that unfortunately Wompet was unable to attend last night. Gary you were truly missed and hope you'll feel better soon, then you'll get a double dose of scratching between the ears.

It was an amazing night! Many thanks to Glen for picking up all the pieces as needed! My hat's off for the incredible interpretation of Tam o' Shanter! I can scarce remember Ol' Spindle Shank's real name, let alone all those lines of brogue! Good on ya! The Address was perfect as well! Pete's pipes, the toast from Hendry, the response from the Duchess... all well received! I wish we had the opportunity to hear Uncle Ricky and his reading. Hopefully next year!
Thanks for the great evening, and all the help with the kit for our newly kilted pal Nate!
Cheers!

What a lovely venue!
And a masterful Address to The Haggis.
Tam O'Shanter-now there's a memorization challenge! I'll pass. But I'd love to hear it-I suppose the camera memory wouldn't allow for a video. 
And regarding the limericks to the SOKS, we did actually read them out at our supper as well-they were handed out to be read by several of the guests...Grant, just so you know, I delivered yours personally! 
Be well,
