Freeskilling next Tuesday - Burns Night Ceilidh

Freeskilling | 20.01.2011 00:22

25 January, 7pm, Better Food Company, St Werburghs, Bristol
Hello all

As next week 's freeskilling session coincides with Burns Night, what better way to spend the evening than coming to a ceilidh?

Rachel Miller, a true Scottish lass, has offered to teach us ceilidh dances from scratch, so no knowledge of the dances is necessary and all are welcome. (A few experienced feet will be very welcome too!)

Please come for a 7pm start. We may have to restrict numbers due to the size of the cafe space.

As always, we're really grateful to The Better Food Company for giving us their space, for free, every Tuesday. (Their cafe is open until 7pm if you fancy a cuppa or cake beforehand).

A note about Burns Night....
Burns Night is annually celebrated in Scotland on or around January 25. It commemorates the life of the bard (poet) Robert Burns, who was born on January 25, 1759. Burns' best known work is "Auld Lang Syne".

Burns Night of course usually involves Haggis, and we may even be able to conjure some up for a taste...
