Final week of Ticket Sales for this year’s Robbie Burns

You have less than a week to purchase a ticket for this year’s Robbie Burns if you haven’t already. We will be telling the Caterer our final numbers next Monday, so ticket sales close at the time I log into my computer Monday morning.

Less than 2 Weeks and they’re gone

Ticket sales ends in less than 2 weeks to our Robbie Burns 2024 Dinner and Performance.

This year we have a new selection of music, as well as a few favorites.

There will be the traditional Roast Beef buffet dinner.

We have Highland Dancers performing.

We have the Fraser Highland Shoppe setting up like they normally do.

We will once again be having a silent auction. Items are being listed on our site as we receive them.

We hope you will join us for an evening of Pipe Music, fellowship, and an excellent dinner.

2022 Robbie Burns Kitchen Party

Robbie Burns Kitchen Party Things to Know

I hope you are excited about this year’s Robbie Burns as I am. All of the performers have been practicing their hearts out, and we are ready to go! We will be holding the event in the Maritime Pub and Eatery on Jan 29th 2022.

This is a relaxed semi-formal event. Most of the performers will be in kilts. If you have one, we invite you to wear yours as well. If you don’t, we ask that you dress in business casual, or better.

The performers will start at about 6pm. We will have some solo-ists, some poetry, and the Dance For Life dancers as well as The Airdrie Scots Pipes and Drums.

About 6:30pm we will be piping in the Haggis. It will then be properly addressed.

Dinner this year is being done differently. As we are hosting in a pub, you are free to order off of the menu. Or you can purchase tickets to their Roast Beef or Haggis dinner specials. The door entry fee does NOT include the cost of your dinner!

After dinner, we will have traditional Burns dinner activities – the toast to the Lassies, the reply, etc. After this, we will resume with performances.

At 8pm, the pub’s live entertainment (Low Tide) will start their evening sets.

There will be a silent auction held. We will be able to take cash, cheques, credit and debit.

The Fraser Highland Shoppe will also be on site. They are donating all net proceeds from sales this weekend to the band!

This is a cash bar.

Our event typically lasts 4 hours.

The pub will be handling the ticket sales on your behalf through their Eventbrite event. We will update this page with the link once we have it!

The event is open seating.

We are looking forward to seeing you there, and I hope you will have as much fun as I will!

p.s. We’ve created a mailing list so that you can keep up to date about this event. Subscribe here.

We held our AGM tonight.

Meeting minutes will be posted over the next week or so.

We made the difficult decision tonight to postpone our Robbie Burns dinner and performance until March. This is to allow us to see how Covid continues to play out, as well as give us some additional time to prepare for the evening. That said, we are intending to partner with a local pub to have a “pub night” (maybe afternoon) the weekend after the Bard’s birthday.

We also confirmed that we will continue to practice Sunday afternoons. New members are always welcome.

A Performance in the Park July 2nd

With the easing of restrictions, the band wants to get out into the community. We intend to hold a practice on July 2nd in Nose Creek Park starting around 7 P.M. for those that wish to come listen, and meet the members.

This practice will depend on the weather. The forecast right now is for in the 30’s so we will be playing by ear whether it is too hot or not to hold the practice.

Time is running out

If you have already attended one of our Robbie Burns events, we hope you remember it as fondly as we do! This year we are holding our event on the 8th of February.

Our regular priced tickets for the evening is $65 and there is a discount for groups of 5 or more! Because we need to firm up our numbers for the caterer, we need to know that you will be attending sooner than later. Therefore tickets are on sale ONLY until the 2nd of February.

We are once again fortunate to have the Highland Dancers return to perform (weren’t they adorable?). Of course the Airdrie Scots Pipes and Drums will also be performing a new repertoire. But as a bonus, we will also be having solo-ists, and Canadian Step Dancers performing.

We will be holding our traditional Roast Beef dinner buffet. And of course there will be Haggis!

Happy Birthday Robbie Burns!

Tomorrow (Jan 25th) is the birth day of Scotland’s National Poet Robbie Burns. In celebration of this cultural icon, groups around the world will be holding ceremonies.

The Airdrie Gaelic Society is no different. This year, our Robbie Burns event is on Feb 8th, and tickets can be purchased on our website.

We will be having a traditional meal of Beef, Neeps and Tatties. The Airdrie Scots Pipes and Drums will perform, as will some Highland Dancers and Canadian Step Dancers. In addition we will have the Address to the Haggis, some poetry readings, and some of our musicians will perform solo and duet numbers.

We hope you will join us!

Slainche!
