A HUGE well done you tartan army people for organising a fabulous night!! I believe the night was every bit as successful as the last couple of years but we have never been before and we had a blast!! Well done to all the speakers. Brian McGinley was hilarious.....loved him! The food was great, the music was great and the company......wisnae bad!! Can we book for next year????

Can't believe you were up that early posting Ags! A great night. Well done again, thoroughly enjoyed myself, but a wee question-What happened to everyone has to be out before 3 :wink: The meal and music was fantastic as usual. Looking forward to next year already! Thanks again to all that involved.

Totally agree, excellent night again, really different night from any other, good chance for folk to get the ballgowns on and the ladies get a chance to get dressed up as well.

Really enjoyed the band, New Hope, really impressive performance. Lookin forward to next year already.

:lol: :lol: - everybody was looking swell!
The band were great! I've been singing "paint it black" in my hungover state all day.....far too young - just like the band -to remember the original but they did a grand job of it and everything else!

I think that the third one was the best yet. McGinley was first class----very funny anecdotes. The band were great. I think that Spannerman booked them for next year. The hall clean up went like clockwork, as usual. Hardest job was getting the door open, due to the rather large draught excluder sleeping behind the door :shock: looked uncannily like Abbey Craig........................

Great night and great company. I don't know where the time went I thought is was only about 1 'oclock when we left at 1/4 to 3.
Has anyone got the wrong jacket? Archie Millar went home with someone else jacket it has a bow tie in the pocket.

Anybody know when the photo's will be in Stewart's?
Looking forward to seeing the 'Class of 82' one, but no doubt I'll wish I had to stick to the diet when I see them, especially after my 'partner' was looking so stunning.

Think i remember Davie saying that it's nearly £10,000 raised by CTA in the last 5 years 8) , if so that's an amazing amount raised by all the troops.

PS - if this is the case Could do with more smileys, a clapping hands one and a dothing cap one would not go amiss for the CTA
