The long and short......
Out First Annual Burns Supper was a smashing success! Even our resident Scotsman and his Lovely Irish Bride were impressed and I do suspect we will continue the tradition going forward. While the food/drink were all fantastic, we received a lot of ‘love’ from them for the soda bread, which isn’t offered locally and if you find it, is subpar. This, coupled with piped Kerry Gold was damned fine, I’ll admit.
3 out of 50 people in Kilts (several men had real tartan ties and tartan scarves on the ladies) and with time to plan/execute for 2023, I’ll be sure to do so as well. Dress ranged all over the place which is fairly typical of my club; very low key.
I ended up wearing some black watch trousers I totally forgot about with black jacket and tie; regimental lapel pin. Since I’m a weightlifter, several people told me I looked like secret service but well put together.....even my Scotsman was impressedI seldom wear a tie as I look like 5lbs of Haggis in a 3lb. casing!
Thanks again for the support and advice. I’ll be sure to read and learn (lurk) here more often. Cheers!
