Cally Burns Supper 2012

**Oddern** · 1st February 12, 03:28 PM

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.

More to come...............

Nop, we leave the kransekake for 17.May, Christmas and confirnation parties.

But we had a delicious ice cake with shortbread inside.

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.

The readings of Burns are done in Scottish. At one time we had two gentlemen reading Burns together, the first gentleman read in Scottish, the other in Norwegian.
