A
local group of ex-armed forces English speaking people raise money routinely
for SSAFA and wanted to run a Burns Supper.
I heard about them, they heard about me and before you could say ‘Robert
Burns’ I was in there leading the project to run a Burns Supper on the 25th
January for 60 guests at our local restaurant which has a handy dance
floor.
The haggis was sourced from the UK
and secreted across the channel by December visitors. The local choir (English ones) volunteered
to learn a few ditties…. resulting in a wonderful evening.
Our friends Margaret and William Black
originally from Mauchline (Burns strongly associated with this town in
Ayrshire) joined us and William proudly heralded the Haggis as it was brought
in for the address. It was a huge
success with music provided by DJ McJeff!

Some other friends were roped in - well they had to be - with a name like... Robert Burns!! Yes it is true and he has a sense of humour and the look of a ploughman about him. His address to the Haggis was superb! Thank you Robert Burns - past and present!!
