The Kirkcudbright Burns Club held their annual meeting in Arden House on the 25th January 2025. This was a notable occasion as they had their first female speaker when Stacy Whan gave a memorable reply to the lasses which had been proposed by James Flannigan. The President Rev. Graham 
Finch was chair for the evening and he welcomed members and guests. Speakers included Gordon Mursell for The Immortal Memory, Jimmy Dunlop for Agriculture, and Robin Wallace with readings. Brian Thomson addressed the haggis. Musicians for the evening were Piper George Whan and singer/ guitarist Jim Howard. Closing the evening’s proceedings was Vice President, Ian D. Swan who proposed the vote of thanks.
