Read Your Story at St Andrew's Night Ceilidh

Friday, 26th November at Melrose Parish Church Hall is the venue for the ceilidh house, starting at 7.45pm.

Anyone present is invited to contribute to the evening's entertainment if they wish, with music, story or song in any language - English, Scots, Gaelic are the most common.

There will definitely be Gaelic song contributions from Turas and members of the recent Gaelic Singing for Fun group, led by Mary Low, but the rest of the entertainment is up to you, so please polish up your party piece!

A soup and pudding supper will be provided, but please bring your own booze.

Please note this is a ceilidh in the Highland tradition - there's no dancing !

Gaelic in the Borders Ceilidh in Maxton on 15th November

The Gaelic in the Borders Ceilidh on 15th November was great fun. Two girls played a flute and violin duet and the violinist also played a solo. 2 people played accordions and one the piano. We had Gaelic, English and Scots songs and a lady and I each read 2 short stories.

For supper there was leek and potato soup, carrot and courgette soup, lentil soup accompanied by bread, butter and oatcakes and several puddings: raspberry pavlova, apple pie, trifle, chocolate cake, fresh fruit salad, cheesecake.
Both the carrot and courgette soup and the lentil soup were excellent, I didn't try the other one. Of course, I ate too much; even so, there was a lot of food left over.

And....
I won a bottle of malt in the raffle !
