John Merrilees gave an excellent Immortal Memory, with a theme this year of the Bard in America at the conclusion of which Darren O'Hare played a meaningful lament. John Merrilees and Ian Crozier done their usual Twa Dugs, and joined by Grant Williamson, all three gave an excellent rendition of Tam O'Shanter. Grant also gave a very amusing toast to the Lassies.
