Niall Mitchell proposes the Toast to the Immortal Memory

Patrick MacPhail performs a flute cocktail

Michael Nolan brings greetings
from Feltham Scottish,
before very ably Toasting the Lassies ...

... then a few microphone adjustments
to enable Carol Goddard
to return the compliments in her Reply.

Ann Brown upholds Scottish traditions of hospitality,
proposing the Toasting to our Guests ...

The evening passes in a blur (or is it the whisky ?)
... just time to introduce our guests to a few simple dances,
before a very enjoyable evening ends with
Burns' international song of farewell "Auld Lang Syne".

Haste Ye Back !
