It has become traditional that the president of the Howff is invited to attend the Dumbarton Burns Club St. Andrews Night Dinner in the Dumbuck Hotel I'm really glad that this arrangement was started by my predecessors, else I would have missed an excellent evening in the company of many friend I have had the privilege to meet at various outing and boolin' matches.  I really like the idea that they have adopted their own club song - Piper o' Dumbarton. Which I understand is sung, usually by John Young, who gave our toast to Jean Armour this year, towards he end of the evening.  So come on Howff Club members what is our song?? 

So President Patrick Trust, Moir Nelson and members of Dumbarton Burns Club Thank you all for your hospitality and a superb evening.
