2016 Burns Night

President Ernest Bennie welcomed Rotarians, guests, pupils and parents from Cardross Primary school to our Burns Night event held jointly with the Rotary Club of Helensburgh.

The Haggis was piped in by Rtn Colin Lawrie, a past president of Dumbarton Burns Club, and we were then magnificently entertained by pupils from Cardross Primary School.

The Haggis was addressed by Rhona Mackinnon, 'Tam O'Shanter' was recited by Erin Gregory and Emily Wilson. Gregor Stewart then recited 'The Ballad of Jannie MacKay'.  The audience joined in an enthusiastic show of appreciation for the children's splendid performance.

Rotarians and guests then enjoyed a traditional Burns meal and listened intently to the 'Immortal Memory' proposed by Mike Deans and enjoyed songs by Beth Street and Peter Anderson.

A thoroughly enjoyable evening.
