Friday 25th January 2013 - Burns Night. @ Company Section

Tomorrow don't have a big dinner before you come out to BB.
You are doing your Indoor Cooking section of your skills badge tomorrow night.
This involves you preparing / cooking a 3/4 course meal for you all to sit down and eat.
Being the 25th of January I thought that it would be a good idea to have a Burns Night, so you are going to cook a typical Burns Supper menu.

Cock a Leekie soup (Tinned by Baxters)
Haggis, neeps and Tatties.(Tinned by Grants, neeps pre chooped to be boiled and Tatiies to be peeled and boiled).
Clouty dumpling (made by Linda)
Biscuits & Cheese
Washed down with loads of Irn Bru (made by Barrs watched by Alan)

The idea is come down at the normal time - for 6.30. You will all be assigned a task, preparing or cooking food, setting up the tables and chairs in the Session House, setting the table etc.
By the end of the Junior Section at 7.45 everything should be prepared and ready to eat.
The guests (you) will be piped into the Session House
The guests will be welcome and Grace will be said.The soup course will be served.
This will be followed by the Address to a Haggis
and Toast to the Haggis before the main course is served.
The dessert of warm clouty dumpling will be served.
Followed by biscuit and cheese.
A Toast will be made to the Queen.
No toast or response will be given to or replied to by the Lassies since none will be present.
Before some Burns poetry is recited and finally The Immortal Memory will be given (a spell binding oratoration on the life of Burns.

Then unfortunately you will all have to help with the dishes before we finish at 9 pm, it might just run over a wee bit tomorrow night
