The Robert Burns World Federation Newsletter The Robert Burns World Federation Newsletter Issue 14 March 2015 In this newsletter reports on Burns Suppers, from far and wide and reflecting participation by young and old alike, serve to remind us just how universal are the celebrations of the life and works of our National Bard. However, many readers will be aware of the abuse hurled by the Scottish poet Hugh MacDiarmid at what he terms the ‘Burns Supper Coterie’ in his 1926 poem A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle. A modern equivalent of MacDiarmid are those who feel uncomfortable with Burns Suppers which ‘stretch’ the association which Burns had with ‘wine, women and song’ and turn the event into an excuse for the unrestrained use of crude, sexist and sometimes, sadly, misogynist language with no correlation to Burns life or works. One of the articles in the newsletter reports on one club’s attempt to avoid this scenario. Comments on this issue to the Editor would be welcome. Burns Supper in Florida The St. Andrew Society of Sarasota and Burns Club of St. Andrew hosted their annual Burns Supper at the Laurel Oak Country Club on January 24th with 100 members and guests in attendance. Andrew Gardner (left) gave a rousing "Address to a Haggis" that set a festive g mood for the evening!

Everyone seemed to have a great time and we all look forward to Burns Supper 2016. If you are going to be in the Sarasota area next winter come and join us. [David MacMillan, Secretary Burns Club of St. Andrew] Houston Texas Burns Bust Rededication Ceremony On Sunday, January 25, 2015, the twelfth anniversary of the dedication of the Robert Burns Bust gifted by the Heather & Thistle Society to the City of Houston, the Bust was rededicated in its new surroundings; Hermann Park has recently reopened after an extensive remodeling to mark its centenary. A great day drew a nice crowd when the Houston Highlanders Pipe Band opened the proceedings. RBANA President Robert Boyd (far right below) gave the introductory remarks and read a letter to Jack Hume from Shirley Bell, retired CEO of RBWF, who dedicated the Bust in 2003, which she fondly recalled as being one of the highlights of her career at the Federation. Jack, the leader of the Bust project, then spoke about how happy he is with its very prominent position in the Avenue of Heroes – a promenade of international figures. Helen Mann spoke on behalf of the British community in Houston, and a prayer of dedication was given by Rev. Melvyn Douglass. The Houston Highlanders performed a set to close, and in a nice postscript, three pipers wound their way playing up the new spiral walkway round the 30-foot mound that is a new feature of the park; at the top one of the pipers proposed to his girlfriend, and she said YES! The group repaired to the Black Labrador pub to ruminate on another great Burns weekend.

Newsletter Page 3 of 12 Russian Students at the Mitchell Anastasia Salukhova Burns Essay Winner and Knowledge of Scotland Entrant Elizaveta Tyotkina exchanging gifts with Susan Taylor in The Burns Room at the Mitchell Library. The St Petersburg Forum organiser Helen Morison is always grateful to the Library staff for their assistance when she brings visitors in to view The Leningrad Album or to visit the Burns Room. The girls enjoyed studying the album from Leningrad, compiled by ladies from St Petersburg in 1943 in appreciation of the Scottish Album presented during the siege in 1941 by the ladies of Airdrie and Coatbridge. If you haven’t already seen this beautiful album do visit the Mitchell and have a look for yourselves. Strathpeffer Burns Club Celebrates The milestone 85th Anniversary of the Club got off to a rousing start with the top table guests being piped into the room by Louise McBain who was in startling form. After a superb meal provided by the staff of the Strathpeffer Hotel, Club President Hugh Aberach MacKay introduced Mr Martin Cassidy, the current President of the Alloway Burns Club in Ayrshire to propose the Toast to the Immortal Memory of Robert Burns. Martin commenced his address in a light hearted mode with a host of anecdotes before moving into the more serious side of the Memory. In response, George Tait proposed a full and humorous Toast to the Speaker. An innovative toast to “Oor Native Land” was proposed by local airline pilot, Kenneth MacKenzie, giving the audience a bird’s eye view of Scotland’s political and cultural landscape, from the cockpit. In the unfortunate absence of Orcadian Charles Copeland, the Club Secretary stepped into to propose the “Toast to the Lassies” which was charmingly responded to by Black Isle vet, Mary Jo Grant. Norman MacKillop rounded up with an interesting account of the Club’s history before proposing a Toast to the speakers and artists including a sincere vote of thanks to the “resident band” - Hamish Polson, Louise McBain and Hamish Menzies who had the hotel rocking with their lively repertoire. He then thanked former Mod gold medalist, Kerrie Finlay who enraptured the audience with her beautiful singing. Irvine Lasses Burns Club Supper Irvine Lasses Burns Club celebrated its 40th anniversary at a supper on 5th February 2015. President Annie Small welcomed Past President of Irvine Burns Club Bill McGregor who proposed the Toast to the Club. Also taking part in the celebrations were Founder Member Anne Gaw, Irvine Burns Club President Derek Murdoch, and RBWF President Jim Thomson who presented the Club with a certificate from the Federation. Here's to the next 40 years! Newsletter Page 4 of 12 St Ronan’s Primary School Innerleithen Burns Tradition Bearers Children at St Ronan’s Primary School in Innerleithen took the plaudits as their Burns Lunch celebration proved to be a resounding success. The event, launched 32 years ago, has become part of the folklore at the 270-pupil school - and it’s so popular with the pupils that they are looking forward to it many months in advance. The chairman Anya Wilson, from P7, orchestrated the occasion like an old hand as the children made speeches, recited poetry and entertained with song and dance. Headteacher, Keith Belleville, was delighted to be able to take a back seat The Guest of Honour was Anne Hewitt, a teacher for 43 years - first at Broughton and for 10 years at St Ronan’s. Miss Hewitt said “When I got to High School we did not do Burns poetry - it was only when I started teacher training that I got the opportunity. She told the children she read a Burns poem during her training and that her teacher did not have a clue what she said but that it “sounded nice”.
