Burns Night in the Valley next winter is being planned for Saturday, 22 January 2011, in the Port Williams Community Centre.
The haggis will be back, fine toasts and speeches will be delivered, and we look
forward to enjoying a night of social dancing
and a wee ceilidh. Tickets go on sale at the end of November. Below are some scenes from this year and years past.
