26th January 2013 - The Piping in of the haggis

Tonight we have had a super evening - Burns Night and no Burns night would be complete without the piping in of the haggis.





 
 Another wonderful Burns Night celebration at Ryde Methodist Church

Burns Night

Piping in the haggis

What an enjoyable night we had. I belong to Ryde Methodist Church and every month we enjoy an International evening. We have been all round the world on these nights but last night we were closer to home as we celebrated Burns Night with a wonderful Burns supper and entertainment. 

oops sorry cant turn it!!

Ruth Realy and her team of helpers provided a wonderful supper and the IOW Caledonian Society entertained before giving us the opportunity to join in the Scittish dancing. There were some wonderful raffle prizes 

and I was lucky enough to win one so its haggis and tatties for my supper tomorrow night.

Unfortunately, despite our gallant efforts, our table only managed to come second in the quiz just missing out on a valuable prize. :)

It was a great evening full of food and fellowship and my house guest Paula, thoroughly enjoyed herself as did I!
