Irvine Walk and Burns Supper 10 February

We met at Johnny’s before our pre-Burns Supper walk. Many thanks again to Johnny for the coffee and scones and for being a martyr in that he did not join the walk, but stayed behind to ready his big room for the evening festivities.

On a bright, cold morning we ventured up through Girdle Toll before veering off right and heading for Annick Lodge. From there we continued to the Stewarton road, which we crossed, and made for Springside. Following the cycle track, we returned to Irvine, having stopped briefly for a cuppa, where, given the need to go home and get ourselves titivated for the evening, a decision was made not to extend the walk any further but to head back to Johnny’s. A three hour ten minute walk, for the record.

Fifth Annual Burns Supper

Fifteen Ooters (those above minus Ian and Kenny R but including Alan, George and Ronnie) attended the event at Johnny’s. As usual this was the highlight of the social calendar. The food was great (thanks to Gus, Alan, Johnny, Robert, Rex and Davie) and the entertainment was sparkling. Well done and thanks to all those who participated by performing or by merely just being there for the best Burns Supper in the toon. Well done to Gus for chairing the event so well and to Johnny and Helen for yet again being so hospitable and welcoming.
