Our Programme Planners decided that we should have an "Alternative to Burns Night" theme for our meeting. Each of the members were asked to prepare a talk of between 5 and 8 minutes on a subject of their choice and suggestions were Art, Song, Writing, Poetry and Dance.
With such a wide variety of choice, we were treated to an evening which was entertaining, informative but above all FUN. Our subjects were as diverse as a poem in the Scots language of Doric, an hilarious insight into the perils of live television programming when Andy Stewart saved the day by providing an elongated version of "A Scottish Soldier", a poem "To A Scotch Pie" by Tom Green, an appreciation of our Museums and Galleries, Jewellery Design and readings of Thomas Campbell's poem "Lord Ullin's Daughter" and "The Famous Tay Whale" by William McGonagall as well as an attempt to demystify Banjo Paterson's song "Waltzing Matilda.
We are now preparing for our Speech Contest which is being held in the Stirling Room at Pollokshields Burgh Hall on Monday the 13th February - 7pm for a prompt 7.15pm start.
All guests and members of other Clubs are more than welcome to attend.
