Harrow & District Caledonian Society has a strong tradition of celebrating the birth of Scotland's bard.
Our Burns Supper is usually held on a Saturday close to 25th January.
The 2011 Burns Supper was held at Northwood Golf Club comprising a traditional dinner with speeches, songs and recitations with orator Janet McNulty proposing the principal toast to the immortal memory of Robert Burns. A special feature of the event was to display the talents of society members in oratory, singing and dancing, and we were privileged to have as our Orator this year a direct descendent of Robert Burns.
Our 2012 Burns Supper was also held at Northwood Golf Club and again featured descendants of Robert Burns among those taking part, together with guest Orator Clark McGinn
Our 2013 Burns Supper was at Sandy Lodge Golf Club, with guest orator Bill Henry.
Details of our 2014 Burns Supper will be published when available.

1.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o' auld lang syne.
3.
We twa hae run about the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin auld lang syne.
5.
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right guid willy waught,
For auld lang syne.
2.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
4.
We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.
Chorus.
And for auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
Auld Lang Syne
