Cally Burns Supper 2012

[Oddern]

The annualy Cally (Caledonian Society of Norway) Burns Supper was held at the Oslo Military Society. This is a magnificent facility perfect for our formal event. There were 85 members and guests enjoying a fair share of drams, haggis, pipes and good speeches. This year I could relax as I had no obligations. Last year I held the immortal memory speech.

We had a pint at a nearby pub before heading over to the Oslo Military Society.





When arriving at the premises we were piped through the door.


Before the supper we could buy raffle tickets and look at the many prizes.


Two handsome kilties:


The President of the Cally was presented with the new chain of office.

Are the Burns readings translated or are they read in English? This looks like a fantastic evening. I am sure it was enjoyed by all.
