Valentines Ceilidh on 13 February 2015 at Melrose Parish Church Hall, Melrose, TD6 9LJ

Please note that this is not a dance.

Instead it's more like an informal concert where members of the audience can choose to perform their party piece.

Come along with songs, music or stories to contribute to the evening’s entertainment in any language or just come along to listen and enjoy.

It starts at 7.45pm and finishes about 10.30 pm.

Come with the partner of your dreams, by yourself, with friends and/or children - no need to feel shy.

Supper provided.
Bring your own booze or soft drinks - glasses are available at the hall.

It's an ideal chance to read out or recite one (or more) of your short stories or poems to an appreciative audience, play an instrument or sing, though there's no compulsion - if you just want to eat and listen, that's OK.

Most people sing or read in English or Scots, some in Gaelic.
Some Gaelic spoken (with translation into English).

£6 non-members, £5 members of Gaelic in the Borders.
Membership available at the door,

In the past there has always been a raffle.

Melrose Parish Church Hall is on the crown of the hill above Melrose Rugby Club. There's plenty of parking.
