I was thinking it is about time we started talking about Burns Night 2009, hopefully Reverend Kevin will see this, am I right in assuming we would like to keep the dinner at the Scottish Rite in Hamilton if possible?

One thing I would like to make clear is that this year I would like to ensure that someone else does the Immortal Memory speech, to that end I would like to announce that I will be reciting Tam O'Shanter I was talking to Peter about it at Fergus and he may do the Immortal Memory, but I'd like to know so that all positions are covered and then of course there are those little parts that are never planned.

So does anyone have any thoughts on this?
