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)
