Evening meeting - Gilvenbank Hotel - Burns Night

On Thursday 27th January 2022 President Brian Johnson. welcomed 18 Club Rotarians and15 partners of Rotarians to this an evening meeting which was our Burns event held at the Gilvenbank Hotel.

Sadly, we decided to not have a blanket invitation to all and sundry as we limited invitation to our own Rotarians and partners only, to this our Burns night with great Rotarian speakers and entertainers.
