Can't Do Burns Supper this Year (2016) Conyers, GA

**thescot** · 26th December 15, 07:56 PM

One and all,

I am afraid that I will not be able to organize our 9th annual Burns Supper in Conyers this coming January. There are just too many demands on my time: New grand daughter scheduled for download, step-son due in from the Army, sister has illnes out of town, getting old! . . .

I do hope that someone else will assume the mantle. The main job is to plan all the speakers and parts, the Celtic Tavern will handle the fare.

Sorry, guys. I just have too many irons in the fire.

Now it's time to step up. LOL

I am very sorry to hear this! Although it is totally understandable. . . Life tends to get in the way, does it not?

I am scheduled to be off the boat this year, so I hope someone does shoulder this supper! From what I can read about years past, TheScot has done a great job- intimidating shoes to fill?

I fixed the spelling in the thread title for you.

Its a wise man who knows when to step back. Take care of yourself Jim!

Doh!

Seems to be that kind of year... Best wishes to you, Jim!

I expected to hear that after my last-minute insertion to slaughter the Address two years in a row, this year you had a better lineup in place since Labor Day. I suppose I couldn't do any worse on a third try, but who can replace your Immortal Memories? Was at the Tavern recently to join Lamar and his GA Tech buddies in lunch and an excursion to Atlanta Cutlery; we brought up again the possibility of a song, possibly Banks and Braes o' Bonny Doon. Oh,well....

Does this mean you might attend if someone else rallies the flag, or no hope? I wouldn't have any idea who to call on.
Maybe a call for volunteers, or a group effort.
