The President’s Welcome Message.
Welcome to “The World Burns Club” the website of The Robert Burns World Federation. This website is open to all throughout the world to further their knowledge and pursue interest in the life and works of Robert Burns.
Whether you are simply looking for a few ideas for a “Burns Supper” or are a “Burnsian” of long standing offering your opinions and views in the “Discussion Forum”, or submitting a piece of research for the “Experts Archive” you are welcome to join in the World Burns Club. We hope to make this site the definitive first source for information on the life and works of Robert Burns. Currently we have all the poems and a selection of his letters for your enjoyment. We soon expect to carry full information on The Robert Burns World Federation with the history of the worldwide growth of the movement through to the events of today. I have the honour to be the President for this year, and this title carries substantial prestige within the massive worldwide network of clubs and societies linked to the RBWF in the development of interest in the Poet. As President I am also Chairman of the Board of Directors who take decisions and form policies to take the organisation forward. There are several distinct objectives of the RBWF each having a dedicated Director. We are best known for our watch over the heritage, the sites and artefacts remaining and still being examined, similarly the Literature committee have an overview on the mass of works published, and our Schools committee organise national festivals and many many thousands of youngsters receive Federation certificates for their activities in their own schools, bringing forward the next generation of Burns enthusiasts. Much information on these areas of interest can be found elsewhere on this site. The Robert Burns World Federation has a membership of clubs in all corners of the globe, and individual members many of whom are not within a club framework but want to follow Burns as a personal interest. This World Burns Club site is here for all our members, and for anyone else who seeks information on Robert Burns, and the people, Clubs and societies who pursue an interest in his life, work and philosophy.
