Caledonian Society of Norway (The Cally) held their annual Burns Supper on Saturday 22. January. There were about 90 members and guests present. This is a very formal event where the attire is formal Highland attire, Bunad or tuxedos. However, there is a casual and humorous tone among the participants, and after the event itself many met up at The Dubliner pub nearby. I had the honour of delivering the Immortal Memory. Since I'm not used to giving speeches in English, I kept myself strictly to the manuscript.
Here is Sten Sporrano (a member of the Xmarks, but not very activ).
An old and noble location, Oslo Military society.
Me to the right of the president of the Cally. The Gentleman (in the Bunad) to the left of the president is a former minister of justice in Norway.

Me and my friend Kjell, a guest of the Society. He is wearing a Norwegian Bunad jacket.

And the crowd are dancing into the night.
Skål!
