'Hawick Night'

Thu, May 14th 2015 at 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Club's annual 'Hawick Night' when partners are particularly invited. Entertainers include Bernie Armstrong, Drew Johnstone, Pat Sutherland and Joyce Tinlin


On Thursday, President Sandy Bannerman welcomed a large contingent of Rotarians, their wives, wives of past Rotarians and a visitor from Kingston on Thames, along with a star studded cast of Hawick's most popular singers. After the usual excellent meal prepared by Phil Coltman and his attentive staff at the Buccleuch Hotel, the company was entertained by the talented Bernie Armstrong,whose singing is always a highlight, especially his rendition of "I like auld Hawick the best", also the evergreen Drew Johnstone, with, amongst others, a moving "Meda's Song, the inimitable, pitch perfect Joyce Tinlin, who sang, unaccompanied, the beautiful, " Wail of Flodden", and Pat Sutherland, excellent as ever with "I like auld Hawick" and others. Recitations were given by Rotarians Jock Thorburn and Gus Neilson, and Drew and Bernie ended the evening with Teribus. The singers were all accompanied by Rosalyn Walker on keyboard, and Vice President Mairhi Trickett gave an enthusiastic vote of thanks to all the brilliant participants.
Members were reminded that the Club is to hold a coffee morning in Trinity Church Hall on Saturday 23rd May with proceeds going to the Nepal Earthquake Appeal, so any members of the public who would like to attend (£2) or simply make a donation to this appeal, can either come on the day or give their donation to any Rotarian.
