We have teamed up with ClanRadio to encourage people to host a Burns Night Super Supper during January and February. We have available a pre-recorded CD which contains everything hosts need except food and friends to share it with.
All the elements of a Burns supper will be supplied on the CD - from initial Piping in of the Haggis through to Auld Lang Syne and will include the usual Toasts, the Address to the Haggis, the Immortal Memory, The Lasses, singing, fiddle music, recitations, and a music filled interval during which hosts can serve the haggis, neeps and tatties.

A registration system is in place and a fee of £5 is being requested to cover costs. It is hoped that participants will raise a minimum of £50. Anyone raising more than £250 will receive a free bottle of whisky. On receipt of registration, full details, running order and fundraising resources will be provided.
Murdo Morrison contracted Meningitis when he was twenty years old and barely survived. He did so because of the early efforts in research, diagnosis and treatment of this deadly disease.
Murdo Morrison from ClanRadio commented: ‘Burns Suppers have come a long way from the first one reputedly held in Burns Cottage in Alloway when a few of the many friends of the Bard assembled to partake in a supper and remember his life and contribution to the poetry and songs of Scotland. There are now over 400 Robert Burns Clubs throughout the world.’
