Anyone have any information on Burns Suppers being held in and around Kintyre this year?

"But pleasures are like poppies spread,
You sieze the flower, its bloom is shed;
Or like the snow falls in the river,
A moment white--then melts for ever; "

If you are expecting a serious 92 verses of Tam O'Shanter style Burns' Supper, then this is not for you. Rabbie does get an occasional mention, normally in the context of a joke. KFN, since you were there last year, I'm surprised that you did not expand on this.

Tickets are limited to 100 and are selling fast. Your £10.00 gets you a two course meal (haggis or haggis) and a dance to follow with Alec McAlister's band. The weather and Calmac permitting, the Rev. Secretary will deliver the Selkirk Grace, John Johnston, in his inimitable style, will address the haggis, John Scott will deliver the Immortal Memory, Angus Brodie the Toast to the Lassies and Jean Miller will give a, no doubt, suitable reply. By this time, the Rev. Secretary will have demolished the complimentary bottle of Grouse at the top table and slid below it
