Does anyone know of any Burns suppers in Vancouver on Saturday the 26? I find myself there and my local one is that night but I am in Vancouver on Saturday and will miss it

Hmmm...I can't make it to any Burns suppers, but as I planned on wearing my kilt to work Friday afternoon perhaps I'll take my kid down to the Burns Marathon. That's SFU downtown, right?

Yes. Harbour Centre main lobby. Select your own reading from his works and introduce yourself at the desk; ask for Tricia; she'll slot you in. Look about or ask -- I'll be there.

Thanks for the info thistledown. It needs to be the Saturday for me. Any xmarkers going to one on the Saturday that they would recommend?

I'm at the SA&CS/Vancouver Club do, but I was told this morning it was sold out at CAD120 a person before Christmas. SFU Pipe Band's supper was last weekend, but it was sold out in November, for heaven's sake! I hear there are still a few places left for the Moray, Nairn & Banff supper at the Scottish Cultural Centre on Saturday. That's usually a great evening.
