On Saturday 23rd January  Farnborough Rotary Club held a Burns Night.

It was a great success with nearly 80 people attending.

I made a video of some of the “dancing” but dare not show it for fear of being sued by members worried about their image.

Oh alright then!!!

Also I took some photos too…

A great night and we raised over £1600

Thanks to all who came, especially Sue Evans, Liz Howarth and Pam Minnet for all the cooking of the Neaps, tatties and other delicacies too

Thanks to Gerald Howard MP for addressing the haggis and to Andrew Clarke of Clarke’s Catering for donating the meats and John Grenham for his generous supply of breads.

The MC and main organiser was Jim Thompson

Farnborough Rotary club will be organising collections this weekend.

We hope to be collecting in Fanborough Town Center and also at the Meadows in Camberley, outside M&S.

As I write, we have received the appropriate licenses from Rushmoor Borough Council and Bracknell Forest. We are waiting on an agreement fro Marks and Spencer

I will report back how much we raise.

All money raised will go towards buying Shelter Boxes,

These specially designed boxes are made for disaster areas and are packed full of vital lifesaving equipment, including a tent that can sleep up to 10 people, pots, pans, a water purification set, tools and other implements to enable survival in the type of conditions we are seeing in Haiti.

We’re going to be celebrating Burns night this year with a Burn’s party.

Organised by Rotarians Jim Thompson and Mike Evans, its going to be heldon Saturday 23rd Jan 2010 at St Mark’s Church Hall, Guildford Road Farnborough at 7.00 for 7.30pm.

A four course supper, which I believe includes “tatties and neaps”, with a light hearted “Scottish” quiz…(whatever that is) oh! I know…How High Is Ben Nevis? or What does a scotch man keep up his kilt?…should be a good night, go and revise now!!!

News Flash!!!! Apparently there will be some Scottish dancing as well.

Och Aye! The Noo!!
