Burn's Supper
Saturday 21st January 2012
I'm sorry to announce but due to unforseen circumstances the ceilidh collective have had to cancel this event. We hope that this isn't too disappointing, and will endeavor to inform everyone if we can find any alternative suggestions for ceilidhs on the 21st January.
Please do come to our next ceilidh, which will be held on the 11th of February for Friends of the Earth, at the Steiner School. Hope to see you there!
