Taste of Burns Celebration
Troon Rotarians and guests gathered at the Piersland Hotel to enjoy their twice postponed streamlined Burns Supper 2022. Normally this event takes place in January but because of Covid restrictions our rearranged gathering took place on Tuesday 9th March. Our Taste of Burns celebration is fulsome in our admiration for the great Bard but modest in the amount of well chosen speeches, songs and verse we enjoy. This means that we all welcome the haggis being piped in and suitably honoured with its noble address and this is followed by a hearty traditional meal and beverages. This year we were entertained by Rotarians John Crerar and Jyl Cunninghame who did an excellent rendition and modern reply to Burns’ ‘The Rights of Women’ which was followed by a scholarly and fascinating Immortal Memory by Wallace Wilson a past Rotarian and member of Irvine Burns Club
The evening’s entertainment concluded with husband and wife Rotarians Marion and Ian giving a hilarious account of Willie Wastle and his wife. Marion began her reply to the famous poem with the words . . . ‘Willie Wastle wisnae braw . . .’
Following the vote of thanks and before the final toast the whole company joined in a hearty rendition of Auld Lang Syne.
