Colin MacLellan has sent this: ‘This year, the Trust has decided to hold the Dinner/Recital on Saturday 29th August, which is the weekend between the Argyllshire Gathering and the Northern Meeting (and also during the Edinburgh International Festival) – a date which we hope will allow the many international friends who have expressed great interest in attending but who so far have not been able to.
‘Tickets at £35.00, which include a first class dinner, are available now, and can be had by replying to this e-mail to Colin MacLellan, or calling at 07528377704 who will be happy to send them out by post and collect either by PayPal or by cheque. The event, as usual, is being held at The Royal Scots Club, Abercromby Place, Edinburgh.
‘We do hope you will be able to attend, or simply learn about the event through this notice. The cost of holding the dinner is far in excess of the ticket price, and so our thanks are due to Glenfiddich Piping and Fiddle for their generous sponsorship and also for including us on their list of competitions this year and in the future. We look forward as usual to a wonderful evening of music and companionship. Colin MacLellan, Secretary, The Captain John A MacLellan MBE Memorial Trust.’
