 | The club holds six luncheon meetings a year (including the Annual General Meeting in October), hosts an annual Burns Supper in January, and holds an annual Memorial Service in July.
The club meets for lunch, normally on the third Saturday of October, November, December, February, March and April. During these meetings we share the poetry and music of Robert Burns, and other Scottish cultural activities. These meetings are open to all, but we do ask that you let us know you are coming by Tuesday evening prior.
Our meetings are now held at the Viscount Gort Hotel on Portage Avenue. |
