9th Annual UClub Burns Supper

Friday, Jan. 24, 2020

Whisky, haggis and poetry are on the bill of fare for the UClub’s 8th Annual Burns Supper. The evening will feature cocktails, a bagpipe procession, the presentation of the haggis, and a special dinner menu. Celebrate all things Scottish!

The UClub's Burns Supper has become a warm and bright tradition, giving us all something to look forward to during the dark winter months.

Plan to join us on Friday, January 24, 2020, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. for the UClub's Ninth Annual Burns Supper.

We guarantee you will find old friends and new; tartans and bagpipes; songs and stories. We'll also have the celebrated haggis, poetry (Scottish accent optional), whisky, the Cup of Kindness, and lots of laughter.

The evening will begin with cocktails in the living room at 6:00 p.m. At 7:00 p.m. we will have the traditional bagpipe procession into the dining room for a fabulous meal. The haggis will be "piped in" by Jack O'Connell, a UAlbany junior.

The event is black tie optional, and dress tends to be semi-formal, with ladies in evening attire and gentlemen in suits, tuxedos or traditional kilts,but the atmosphere is anything but stuffy.

This year’s event will be hosted by UClub member Duncan C. Hunter, L.Th., M.Ed, who was born in Scotland and studied theology at the University of Glasgow.

Tickets are $65 per person, or $120 for a couple. Seating is limited and reservations are required byTuesday, January 21. This event is presented by the University Club of Albany Foundation, Inc. and one need not be a member of the University Club to attend.
