Burns Supper 23 January 2024

An excellent Burns Supper was held in the Horizon Hotel on Tuesday 23 January 2024.

The haggis was piped in and addressed by Jimmy Begg in his usual flawless style.

Gordon McKinlay, a past Captain and Past President of Prestwick St Nicholas Golf Club and well known in the local amateur operatic society, proposed the Immortal Memory of Robert Burns, giving not only an interesting resume of Burns, but also bursting into song on two occasions, with his rich voice going down well with the enthralled audience.

Tam o’Shanter, of course, is a firm favourite and retired English Teacher Bob Cameron gave a memorable performance, not just with his word-perfect recitation, but he really brought the poem to life with his actions.

Alex Thomson (excuse the hair – it was ruffled by Tam o’Shanter!) proposed the vote of thanks. Alex thanked our talented speakers, and also the staff for the excellent meal provided by the Horizon Hotel.  All in all, a great night!
