Robbie Burns Nights

"The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,"

I used to enjoy the annual Burns suppers around this area. they were often held in village halls, usually attended by between fifty and a hundred people, with tickets sold in advance, and there was always a piper to pipe in the haggis. Ann and I used to attend one or two each year. Sadly these stopped a few years back after several attendees at a local Burns Supper fell ill with Ecoli157 afterwards. The infection was traced to sheep dung in the burn which fed the water supply to the village hall but this led to a tightening up of the hygiene regulations which meant professional caterers and better kitchen facilities would be needed, which effectively ended most of our local Burns suppers. I haven't been to one for the past few years so really looking forward to attending the event which P1M will be hosting in Dumfries.

I just came across a site that I dont think was listed before for Burns Supper information. Here it is:

Remember a Burns Supper does not have to be a great expensive affair, with a little research I am sure everyone can find one in their area that is reasonable.

The first one I heard about for this year was going to cost $100 each, so I said not on your life am I spending that kind of money, lucky for me my dad is involved with the Burns society in his town s oI didnt have to look far to get new dinner plans.
