Great Chieftain o’ the Puddin-race!

Crosby Soroptimists celebrated Burns’ Night with a convivial supper.

“Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.”

Haggis, tatties and neeps, cranachan, shortbread and a wee dram… members and partners celebrated in style. A quiz on Scotland-born personalities kept everyone guessing and a Scottish-themed hamper was the tempting raffle prize. Plus, Burns’ Night is a good excuse to roll out the Soroptimist International tartan!

Sandy Taylor, chair of the fundraising team said: “This really was a communal effort. However, particular thanks are due to Maggie and Peter who opened up their house for our supper, and to John who addressed the haggis with due ceremony.

“The evening raised £778.02, all of which will be put to good use through SI Crosby’s donations to charitable causes.”
