The annual Burns Supper of the Society was held on Friday 27th April at the Woodhall Hills Golf Club, Calverley. The evening followed the traditional pattern of toasts, songs and poems by our National Bard. The event was chaired by the President, Mr Bruce Somerville. This was the first time we have held the event at this venue and it proved very successful. Thanks go to Sharon Booth-Howie and the committee for attending to the arrangements.
