Burns Summer School
14th/18th July, 2003

We have an interesting programme in place, with lectures by a number of experts, and visits to places associated with Robert Burns. The Summer School co-incides with the Brow Well Service on 16 July, and it is hoped as many as possible will attend this important service in the Bums Calendar.

On the last day there will be a showing of the film 'Auld Lang Syne" - courtesy of Professor Ross Roy and Scottish Screen - this will be followed by discussion and "lively" debate. A celebration lunch with entertainment by Gill Bowman will round off an enjoyable programme. The enclosed leaflet and booking form will give details of what is planned.
