    Wonderful pictures. It looks like a great evening. I can now say that only wild horses will keep me away next year.

    Congratulations on a great dinner. Looks like everyone had a lot of fun.

    First time I've heard the address in American; you all looked so good in the photos, I was sure you must be in Scotland (joke).
    But at least Panache managed the whole thing from memory without notes, better than I 've ever done. Congratulations (and shame on those that had to read the words of Auld Lang Syne !!!).
    Wish I'd been there!

    Congratulations to all of you over there in sunny California. What a great evening you appear to have enjoyed. My especial congratulations to Jamie for his spirited rendition of The Address - one of, if not the best of, the many I have seen and heard across the years. Actually, I wish I had not seen the video - at least, not yet - as I am to give The Address at The Ferintosh Burns Night Dinner on Saturday ....... and I will be reading it! The days of my being able to memorize much more than my telephone number are over and, in any case, I am not a public speaker!!

    But this thread is about YOUR Burns Night, and a splendid one it was. Well done.

    [PS: You've done it again! A first - The 'Kneeling Hamish'! Great stuff, chaps.]

    Excellent photo report. I especially liked the group Hamish and its nice to be able to match names to faces in the photos and to voices on video.

    I believe there is more to come. Way2fractious, who took many pics, including the "prom" couples photos has yet to be heard from.

    Best regards,

    This is very nice folks. For those of us who were unable to attend a dinner this year, I very much apprecicate your sharing your evening with us!

    Wow! Everyone looked so great. It looks like a heck of a party wa smissed by the rest of the membership. Kudos to all of you for putting together such a fine looking Burns night.

    Alan, the Xmarks kilt looks great.

    and Jamie, that was one of the better Addresses I have heard in the past 5 or so years that I have been attending Burns night celebrations. The video was a great touch.
