Blairgowrie International Cafe & BRCC Burns Supper
Date: Sunday 14 January
We had a lovely afternoon with The International Cafe supported by Alison's Kitchen, AJ McGregor from Blairgowrie Pipe Band and Chieftain Laurence Blair Oliphant in Blairgowrie Town Hall. With a lovely Burns Supper provided by Alison, the Haggis was piped in by AJ and The Address to the Haggis was expertly performed by Laurence. After eating we enjoyed learning some Scottish Country Dancing - all in all a fun filled afternoon. And thanks to Nathan from the Climate Cafe who volunteered to video the event to share with our Twin Town Brebieres in France.
