Service at the Auld Kirk o' Ayr – 1045 for 1100 in the morn

Floral Tributes at Burns Statue Square then

Refreshment, sangs an' clatter in Auld Kirk o' Ayr,  doonstairs hall.

Come share guid company, guid cheer, and guid verse, as we keep the spirit o' Burns alive. Yet, like a wee timorous beastie, our Club is in peril – low numbers threaten its very existence. Your presence and support will help ensure the flame o'Burns burns bright in Ayr for years tae come.

For Burns's name shall live fu' lang, while Scots hae hearts sincere.

Wi' warm regards and hope

Lorrie Headley
