Thanks, everyone! We've got all of our speakers lined up. If you'd like to read a poem or sing a song, let us know. It's okay to spontaneously volunteer when we get to that point in the program, too.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

The piper is a friend of Jim's; Jim will handle. Wil was waiting for a date before contacting Tavern. Jim has friends outside of the forum who will hopefully join us again this year, hopefully again about twenty or thirty. Lamar's GA Tech buddy Charlie
will do "My Love is Like A Red, Red, Rose", I'll do "Banks and Braes o' Bonnie Doon".

Anyone else? Thanks to Catharps, proves mariners really are brave folk. @Deil the Yin, will you make it?

When No One is "Deil the Yin"... get it? Har-har!

Anyway... apologies for the radio silence- I've been counting my shillings. And I am planning on being in attendance at this year's Supper plus one, ie two of us. Thank you gentlemen for your efforts to keep this great tradition alive. I have to say the programme looks great and I look forward to taking part in some form or fashion with "A Man's a Man...".

Was wondering if we could plan a group photo shoot for just before 6pm, you know, for posterity? And of course because if we don't come back with photos... it didn't happen! I'm planning to bring my wee camera and tripod (even wee-er), so maybe we'll all be able to get in the shot at the same time...

Looking forward to it!

Cheers,
Wesley

Okay ... for the entertainments, I've got the following gathered from this thread and a few emails

Diel the Yin (A man's a man)
Jim (Tam O' Shanter)
Charlie (Red, Red Rose - a song) with Lamar accompanying

Michael - what is Charlie's and Lamar's surnames? I'm planning to print an insert with these guys listed

Anyone else up for a poem or a song?

Charlie Hollins, Lamar Britt. As in Ferguson Britt Sporrans. He was sick for more than a week earlier in the month
and was getting in a crunch to get orders out, so I don't have confirmation yet on whether he was able to work on that.
Charlie is prepared to do solo if not. I will confirm earliest.

I will be doing "Banks and Braes o' Bonnie Doon"either solo or with Jim. A short mention of the ceilidh tradition will precede, as Charlie wants to offer info on his contribution.

Thanks! I'm Jones and I belong to clan Phail (MacPhail). Looking forward to meeting you - probably met you last year and can't remember.

Ah, the Supper. Looks like the new troops have done a great job in planning the Supper.

If you should require directions to the Celtic Tavern, go here: http://celtictavernconyers.com/

BTW: I plan to have plenty of books of Burns poetry if someone should decide they want to share a poem.

See you guys in a week-and-a-half.

Slainte.
