Dear Burns Lovers,
The Robert Burns Club of Toronto, which is affiliated to the Scottish Studies Foundation, is once again joining forces with the Granite Club for a Burns Supper on Saturday, January 21, 2012, a rousing action-packed celebration of the birth of Scotland's Bard, Robert Burns.
If you have not yet attended a Burns Supper at the Granite Club, you are missing out on a grand event (just ask anyone who has been there), and if you have previously attended, welcome back to another flavourful programme of feasting, fun, fellowship and festivity.
We promise you an exciting evening of first-class entertainment: the soul-stirring sounds of pipes and drums, the inspiring words of Robert Burns, and, of course, the traditional toasts to The Haggis, The Immortal Memory and The Lassies.
"The Hour Approaches Tam Maun Ride" from "Tam O'Shanter" by Robert Burns
A special feature of this year's event will be a unique rendition of the Burns poem "Tam o' Shanter," given by Ronnie O'Byrne and illustrated by an accompanying audio-video presentation.
Dancing for the evening will to the music of the "Scottish Accent Band" and to enhance the enjoyment of those not familiar with Scottish Country Dancing, we are featuring two free two-hour dancing lessons prior to the event in the Granite Club's Regency Ballroom at 10 a.m. on Saturday 7th & 14th January.
Our numbers have been multiplying significantly over the past years, so we strongly recommend early booking to avoid disappointment.
We do hope you will join us this memorable evening honouring "The Bard."
Yours aye,
Gordon Paterson
President
