It was a great honour and a privelage to attend the Dumfries Burns Club St.Andrews Dinner at the Woodlands.  It is alway good to meet friend and enjoy their company but also to meet new friends.  Ian McIntyre (JVP) and myself were well looked after and enjoyed some excellent entertainment.   A few of the entertainers were Howff Club members but I guess it just shows that there is no annimosity between other Burns clubs.

A great night thanks to president Isa and the members for the Dumfries Burns Club forthe invitation and your hospitality, I hope that we can extend the same hospitality on the 30th at our dinner. 

Big thanks to May and Les Byres for the welcome, the soup, pies and mushy peas.  not to forget the buscuits & cheese, coffee & mints too.

There follwed a night of recitation, song, stories and jokes. 
A super evening in that, probably the one of closest you could get to the Life of Robert Burns, kitchen at Ellisland Farm.  Everyone I've spoken to, seems to think, they enjoyed themselves.
