The British Ambassador
(Sir Simon Gass) with the new
Chieftain Ethel Martis prepare to enter the ballroom
The Guests of Honour
are piped to their seats
The main Hasher's
table
The first course
(Smoked Scottish Salmon)
The Haggis is brought
in with great ceremony
Traditional speech
& knife wielding over the Haggis
The second course
of Haggis, Neeps (turnips) & Tatties (potatoes)
The staff work
hard at serving us
Now loosening-up
after eating and some drinking
The third course
(a choice was available)
This was followed by a sweet course (of course!)
The band plays
another Scottish dance tune
The waiters bring
more bottles of spirits & liqueurs - and coffee
AND NOW, a few
individual portraits of our hashers...
The Scottish dancing
continues
(Thankfully, the bandleader called all the steps)
The piper plays
rock!
The piper is very
popular with the girls
This guy has no
problem getting dates!
The DJ plays some
good dance tunes
Onto the wee hours...
(At this point the photographer was too inebriated to take any more photos)
