Evening of Scottish Culture, Fayre & Dancing

at Ivy Hill Hotel on 26th January 2023


On Thursday 26th January 2023 at Ivy Hill Hotel, the club celebrated Burns’ Anniversary with an ‘Evening of Scottish Culture, Fayre and Dancing’.


The 80 guests attending soon witnessed the chef parading the Haggis around the room to the rousing sound of the pipes. Fred Hodges piped in the Haggis, which was addressed by John Metcalfe, who also gave ‘The Immortal Memory’. After our Scottish meal, the Sandon Scottish Country Dancing Group gave us a display of some intricate Jigs, Reels & Strathspeys. Some guests then joined them for some simpler dances!


prior to the dancing, a “Paul Harris Fellowship” was awarded to Keith Brown by President Nigel Wagland. Andrew Clarkson introduced Keith and explained about the ‘PHF’ award and how it is awarded to Rotarians or non-members for exceptional service to the club and community.


It was a most enjoyable evening – organised by Ian Chatters; photos – courtesy of John James.
