St. Andrews Night - 2 December 2011


Report by Agnes Ovenstone

The St Andrew's Night went really well although unfortunately a number of people were unable to come on the night due to illness. However we still managed to pass to Ian £305 for church funds.

The programme after the meal of haggis, turnip and neeps, trifle and tea/coffee and biscuits and after eight mints was:

St Andrew - Patron Saint of Scotland, Greece and Russia.  Geoff, Gordon, Ian Newton and Jimmy Kinloch performed Zorba the Greek and Cossack Dancing (both dancing of a sort)
 
The we had the Skye Boat Song - Geoff and Gordon rowed across the stage in an upturned table as Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora MacDonald respectively. We managed to get them pretty wet with the stormy weather we created
 
Next a sketch was performed about an invitation to a special church service. Taking part in this were Norah Cox, Christine Jackson, Margaret Black and myself.

The Massacre of Glencoe was next with the lads again and the ladies of the committee as the MacDonald women.
 
Jimmy Kinloch then sang Highland Cathedral and then led everyone in community singing before finishing with Auld Lang Syne.
