Off to the Hospitality Show at the NEC in Birmingham today, always good for new ideas

The Burns night supper held with the Melton Rotary Club went really well with 72 guests enjoying the traditional supper. Piper Bill excelled himself and this year,  his 2 daughters provided some extra musical accompaniment to the meal. Beef was carved at the tables, whisky was tasted (and drunk) and the raffle raised some money for Rotary funds. I cannot reveal the eventual time I manged to prod the last guests out of the bar who took advantage of the special rates offered on overnight accommodation !
