Thank You for Attending Burns Supper
After delaying the event by a week due a snow storm, we gathered in force, over 130 members and friends, on a cold night at the end of January. The evening was enjoyed by all with good food and drink, poetry and dancing, bagpipes and drums! We ended the night with Auld Lang Syne as always.
If you would like to be involved in future planning for our events, our bicentennial celebration in 2027 or general Society happenings, please email us at thecaledoniansociety@gmail.com and let us know what you are interested in doing.
