TESTIMONIALS:
The Spina Bifida Burns Supper in Glasgow was superb... a most memorable Memory delivered by Lord George Robertson, a rollicking Toast to the Lassies by Edinburgh's own Bill Barclay and an amazingly energetic and entertaining auction conducted by Fife's, Willie Allen.

But the highlight for me was the reciting of Tam O'Shanter by Jonathan Watson. What a display of a true actor's skill! He had no need of props or gimmicks, his voice and simple gestures brought the narrative to life in a way that I had never experienced before. It was a treat!
Howard Haslett, Chairman of Spina Bifida Burns Supper Committee.
