Six of us were all too glad to join the team of the second Burns Supper of the British Chamber of Commerce in Germany this year. The evening exceeded our expectations once more!

Much to Burns delight would have been this year's Burns Supper in the impressive Freemason's Lodge »Zur Einigkeit« in Frankfurt - the event was as merry as one could wish for. The organisation (Neville Anderson and Susan Tackenber) was perfect again - the more than 100 guests enjoyed the fabulous traditional Scottish menue (Scotch Broth, Haggis, 'neeps' and Tatties and Cranachan, a delicious and sinful desert based on cream and whisky), the whiskies and wines served. The band »Scapa Flow« was great to listen and dance to - and the various speeches (among others from Brian Laird) were great to listen to (although not always understandable for non-Scottish ears ...) We enjoyed working with the band for the first time - and were delighted that the guests were such avid and enthusiastic dancers after the meal and speeches were over. When the last words of Auld Lang Syne were sung by 1.00 in the morning we felt that most had been part of an exceptional evening! Thanks to everybody involved! - We hope for a third time next year - and for pictures from this year's photographer Sandra McCrea. (These pictures were taken with our camera.)
