On Saturday 8th Feb. Fairlie Yacht Club Commodore, Ronnie Forrest welcomed eighty club members and guests to the club`s bi-annual Burn`s Supper. Held in the Chartroom at Kip Marina, the evening`s proceedings were chaired by Rear Commodore Paul Rae.

Drew Shaw addressed The Haggis with vigour and Peter Wright gave a unique version of The Immortal Memory.

Rousing singing was provided by Drew Shaw of "Fairlie Folk" accompanied by Iain Cameron. Bill Beattie accompanied by Dr. Anne Forrest on keyboard, gave a beautiful rendition of "Ae Fond Kiss".

Eileen Rae ably responded to David Murdoch`s Toast to the Lassies and outstanding performances of "Holy Wullies Prayer" by Hugh Anderson and "Tam o` Shanter" by Campbell Moore had the company in stitches.

Delicious traditional fare in the form of haggis and clapshot followed by steak pie with cranachan for dessert was prepared and served by the Chartroom team.

The closing vote of thanks remarked on the good fortune of Fairlie Yacht Club to include within it`s membership such a group of highly gifted artistes and thanked all those who contributed to making the evening so enjoyable.

Fairlie Yacht Club will be represented at the Royal Yachting Association Scotland`s "Big Weekend" to be held at Inverclyde Sports Centre on 23rd & 24th February. Prospective club members will be welcome to stop by for at chat at the FYC stand.
