It’s hard to believe that our annual celebration of the well-known Scottish bard Robbie Burns is nearly upon us.
Famous for his poem “My love is like a red, red rose,” our local Scottish country dance club will celebrate his birthday on Saturday, Jan. 18 at Fulford Hall. With a scrumptious dinner prepared by Chef Brody, a traditional bagpipe address to the haggis, a special guest appearance by Viva Chorale, some wonderful live music by talented Vancouver Island musicians Mary Ross and Janette Polson and some inclusive fun dancing, it’s sure to be a great night.
Purchase tickets in advance by contacting treasurer Peter King at peterdgking@gmail.com or at 250-537-8544. No ticket sales will take place at the door and the bar is strictly a cash bar, so please come prepared. Tickets are $75 each. Doors open at 5 p.m. Proceedings start at 6 p.m. sharp.
Can’t wait to see you there. All left-feet dancers warmly welcomed. Scottish attire if you have it is appreciated but not mandatory.
