Towards the end of the evening, it was time for the traditional X-Marks group picture.

The Ladies.



And the gents.



Take home a table decoration and some great memories until next year.



That's it from me (for now.)

Madalyn though I'm sure you've seen the forum before I'm glad you are now an official member, as you've been un-official for a while.

Perhaps not the 'traditional' Burns Supper but a rollicking good time was obviously had by all.

It's going to be hard, if not impossible, to top that production.

As Burns so well put it, in The Dean of Faculty

But accept, ye sublime Majority,
My congratulations hearty.
With your honours, as with a certain king,
In your servants this is striking,
The more incapacity they bring,
The more they're to your liking.

Congratulations on what looks like a perfectly executed evening.

[Mipi]

That was real fun.

Believe it or not, this was my first Burns Dinner and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Kudos to all the organizers!

Considering that George and I hadn't played with each other in about two years, the piping wasn't half bad! (It's too bad the recording was of the last tune, the drone tuning was starting to drift a little bit, but nonetheless, great to see and hear!)

If anyone is curious, that particular tune was a piobaireachd called "Too Long in this Condition" and we played the Urlar (a.k.a. "the ground") of the tune.

Again, thanks to all involved! Jamie was brilliant!


Andrew

[Panache]

Jamie was brilliant!

Andrew,

No, it is the mighty Nor Cal Rabble who are brilliant!

I am just very happy to be a part of this wonderful group.

Cheers

Jamie
