2008 Burns Supper @ Ferintosh

[Darkislander]

Good news xmarkers. I've thought better of it and will be joining you on Friday 18th for the first night. Sadly, I still can't force myself to the supper night.
Gasp! Horror! Fore-warning. My friend joining me is not a kilt wearer but I'm sure you'll make him welcome just the same. He comes from Burns Country of Ayrshire so perhaps you can let him off. Really looking forward to it.

The more the merrier I say. There are those of us around who DO wear the dreaded troosers. In my case earlier today before I donned the kilt to host a dinner party tonight. I dare say, however that if you also come to the SECOND kilt night / pub crawl on the 25th. that after seeing all the kiltedness the week before he might be a convert.

In other words (without all that blithering) please come and join us as well on the 25th for a pub crawl and bring your friend. The more the merrier!

(unless ai misunderstood him- which is certainly possible)…But in oiny case… noo he cannae dae it… his son plays hockey oan Sundays…. So he is sorry and he is happy to give tours to us oan Saturday but no oan Sunday…. (ai will tae full responsibility fur the misunderstandin’ and ai apologize tae ya all fur messin this oop)

Sae… the Sunday Caerlaverock trip is still scheduled and we can gae tae Bladnoch distillery after (aboot an hoor and a haf drive) arr we could gae tae Sweetheart Abbey arr possibly Ellisland (Burns Fairm) if it is open oan a Sunday… we will sort it oot at dinner oan Friday….

Change twa-

The second weekend- the Pub Crawl happens oan Jan 25 (the actual Burns Nicht) sae we cannae end the crawl a’ the Globe- they are closed for the Burns Howff Club Dinner….

Sae we will end a’ the Coach & Horses and we will add anither pub intae the crawl… and we will have tae visit the Globe Saturday afternoon arr Sunday….

Change three-

Wi’ Hamish no able tae mak it we need someyin tae dae the Immortal Memory… ai will step in an dae a short yin… ai’m sure it will no bae as guid as Hamish- but ai will bae my best….
