Burns Night - 13th January
With more than 100 revellers and live music , the Burns Night celebration was a sell-out success .
Dr Richard Williamson , a motor section member , said : “ Dancing was a cross between a Scottish reel and a barn dance , very energetic and quite a challenge to get right ”.
Club chef Andy Nice treated the partygoers to a choice of traditional Scottish dishes , including chicken served on an oat patty , beef pie with pickled walnuts and haggis .
A wide variety of whiskies were also on hand to wet the whistle at the bar .
Manu Jenkin , club operations manager , said : “ With a year packed with events to mark this special 50th anniversary year of the Chichester Yacht Club , the successful Burns Night kicked off the celebrations in good style ”.
