Tartan Army St Andrew's Dinner Dance

[Iain1971]

Totally agree

and also a huge thanks to the minibus driver who even dropped us at maw and paws door.

Just wish i hadnt said i would do a fwd roll on the front lawn for the privelige - a tad cold for that nonsense!!!

It is great to hear so much positive feedback from an evening which was our pleasure to host. From start to finish everything went like clockwork. From the lads raising the flag on Tuesday night, to the bar in on Friday, the decor of the hall on Saturday and the clean up on the Sunday - it all went well.

The night itself was excellent -

Great venue
Great company,
Brian McGinley the guest speaker ws brilliant
Meal was superb - what an excellent advert for a local business, well done Argyll Bakeries
Drinks , decor etc were all first class
Dance to follow was great and A New Hope were a total find - well done lads

Some of the stories from Saturday night are excellent - especially yours Arto.

On behalf of Campbeltown Tartan Army we would like to thank all of you who attended and helped celebrate St Andrew's Day and to everyone who helped over the weekend and on the lead up. Well done one and all.

Arto, we still don't know why you went to sleep at the end of the night given the big sleep you had in the afternoon. See:



The Hall



More to follow - have quite a few of the forum members.

Here are a couple of the pictures I took on the evening, I wont add any names to them, except to say that the last one is for my freen Abbey Craig, for making a arse of himself.















This one,s for you Arto.....

[Govangirl]

There are a lot of people reading this thread absolutely green with envy! The Scots certainly know how to enjoy themselves. This looked a fantastic evening. Loved the pictures!

[Neco]

Looks as if everybody enjoyed themselfs. Noticed all the bottles of BUD on the tables come on whats wrong with a real drink.

Did anyone pick up a Kodak camera by mistake??

[CTA]

Just to say the photos are now in Kintyre Photography. The cover photo is really funny - it is Arto in a kilt doing a karate kick obviously having taken too many lessons off of Ninja Manai

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

With donations to Trader Association Lights, Youth Football, Schools Pipe Band and the Sports Council we've donated over £10,000 in 4 years to local charities. Good to see your observation skills are good Double A, must come in handy in your line of work!

I removed these two the other day but few people asked me to add them back on





Can I add more??? (Ags etc....)

Saw the photo's today- there was some crackers. I gave Stewart a row though-he promised to airbrush me, but I think he went the wrong way. FFS, I didn't realise I had one of those magic mirrors in the house! Think you can guess my New Years resolution Think I might just go for the dance next year and no bother wae the meal!

[ultraviolet]

That's the second year we have been and it only gets better! The whole evening went so smooth from our arrival by bus to the lift home late on the mini bus. Food as always was excellent and I thought the speaker was excellent. Really enjoyed the dance and the drinks and the main thing catching up with old friends who we would otherwise miss if it wasn't for this night! You really have everything down to a fine art; the basket in the ladies toilets, the candles, the flowers, the decor. For once I'll give you men 10 out of 10! Well done again and roll on 2009.

[abbey craig]

ohhh s*!t i`m just starting to get flashbacks noo....scary stuff indeed

Can I add more??? (Ags etc....)

You can post bad pictures of me so long as it guarantees my ticket for next year.....i mean i take it they are bad when you are asking permission - maybe a wee pm if they are really awful???? (Dont want Govangirl to get the wrong impression - she thinks i'm quite sensible )
ARTO - the picture on the front of Stewarts album is fab!! You are an absolute star !! Se you 01/01/09 if not before!!
Ice Maiden you looked lovely and I hope Mr Ice is going to manage the 40th on the 30th!!

[Ship called Dignity]

ARTO - the picture on the front of Stewarts album is fab!! You are an absolute star !!

Do you meant this one?

I've a copy of the photos to do a wee web feature but obviously all photos will be small so to see the real ones pop in to Kintyre Photography in the Longrow and see the real ones.



Here is a group one of the CTA with guest speaker Brian McGinley. On introducing Brian McGinley, Robert McDonald turned and looked at Brian and said "Do you know what, I just can't get Alex McKinven out of my head" Here you can see why!



I changed this one to black and white and kept the colour of the saltire in - thought it captured the moment well.
