The Spina Bifida Association says its Community Burns Supper becomes more and more popular every year, as with a ceilidh disco thrown in it has something to offer everyone.

Described as “a perfect night for ladies and gentlemen to enjoy this Scottish tradition with a modern twist” it includes a three course dinner of traditional fare (in which haggis may well feature) – and “the very best local speakers reciting Burns’ best-loved works”.

To add to the enjoyment there will be a number of “special surprises” to enliven the proceedings.

A spokesperson for the Spina Bifida Association said: “We are all very excited about this event – it’s a great opportunity to be part of something special in the local community”.
