My Burns (The best of two worlds)

[Freelander Sporrano]

Hi All I just thought I'd post to tell you about my Burns night supper a week ago.
Last Saturday was the big day. The Cally was holding it's Burns Supper in Oslo .Heres a shot of the venue



It is the Callys 6oth Anniversary and what better way to start this year of celebrations, than with the annual Burns Supper. This year, the immortal memory was presented by our Patron the Rt. Hon. The Earl of Caithness P.C. Malcolm Sinclair.

We were 109 Guests and Members .The president Norman delivered his Address to the Haggis with his usual finesse and the Haggis was put out of it's misery with a swift stab from his Sgian Dhu. Then the Haggis was dished out to the hungry hoard.

There were Toasts to the Queen and to the King (The Norwegian king)and all the usual banter at table you would expect from 109 male guests.After the Haggis came the bagpipe recital given buy the Callys own piper. This was followed by a desert (I can't remember what that was...I wonder why??)
Then Came the affor mentioned immortal memory by Lord Malcom.
Things start to get a bit hazy now. We had coffee and retired to the bar for more whisky and a raffle (In which I won nothing). By around Midnight we were all done for this year.
Heres a pict of Sten Rune and My mate at the Cally David Wyllie



Just around the corner from the venue is the best Irish Pub in Oslo the Dubliner. We were arond 12 that made it there all in PC full rigg. We had a great time Drinking Guinness and listening and watching to the music and dancing...Oh and did I mention the Guinness....

We took a taxi back to David (A mate) house and were greeted next morning with the full Scottish breakfast including more Haggis......Lets just say we ate a hearty Breakfast......
What a weekend
