(Robert Burns, Tam O' Shanter) "But pleasures are like poppies spread, You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed; Or like the snow falls in the river, A moment white-then melts for ever; Or like the Borealis race, That flit ere you can point their place; Or like the Rainbow's lovely form, Evanishing amid the storm."

St Andrews Night Celebration

Each year the Club hold a dinner on the last Friday of November to commemorate our national patron saint St Andrew and Scotland. This is a less formal function than our Annual Burns Supper in January and allows the members and guests to enjoy an evening of good fellowship.
