Hosted By: Caledonian Society of Bermuda
Venue: Tucker's Point Hotel and Spa
The Caledonian Society of Bermuda's Annual Burns Supper for 2012 will be at Tucker's Point Hotel and Spa on Saturday, January 28th.
A Burns Supper is a celebration of the life and poetry of the Scottish poet Robert Burns, author of many famous poems and songs. A few examples include Auld Lang Syne (yes, the one we all sing at New Year), To a Mouse (the phrase "the best laid schemes o' mice and men gang aft agley" comes from this poem) and Tam O' Shanter (considered by many to be one of the best examples of the narrative poem in European literature).
You do NOT have to be a literary buff to enjoy this (Burns himself was a renowned drunken womaniser), you just have to enjoy cocktails, dinner, poetry and entertaining toasts and speeches. We have another excellent lineup of speakers this year, headed by Bruce Murray as MC, with past president Gordon Ness Addressing the Haggis, Bill Storie providing the Immortal Memory, Toast to Scotland by Steve Pegg, Toast to Bermuda by Bruce Barritt, Toast to the Lassies by Arthur Wightman and the Reply on Behalf of the Lassies to be announced.
The pre-dinner cocktail reception (cash bar) will be from 6.30pm until 7.15pm, with the five-course dinner beginning at 7.30pm. The ticket price has been held at $75 per person and available from IHind@becl.bm or online at www.premiertickets.bm.
There are no up coming events.
