2012 Burns Supper a witty, musical night to remember
Former pupils and friends of Hutchesons' came together at the Caledonian Club, in London, once again for the annual Burns Supper.
Sola Paterson-Marke (C2004) gave a warm welcome to all attendees, spanning the years from C1948-C2010.
Grace Ang-Lygate (C2004) and Fr Chris Trundle (C2003) led the guests in a lively, musical rendition of the Selkirk Grace.
Harley Atkinson (C1957) gave an animated and amusing Address to the Haggis, followed by an outstanding Immortal Memory delivered by Fr Chris Trundle.
Grace Ang-Lygate, right, took to the piano and sang a very moving version of Ye Banks and Braes. The Toast to the Lassies was delivered in true riposte by Calvin Graham (C2002) and the very capable reply came courtesy of Jayne Callum (C2004). Rachel Connell (C2004) was an able Mistress of Ceremonies, presiding over the evening's proceedings.
The evening ended with the traditional Auld Lang Syne (and an impromptu rendition of the Hutchie song!) and the further chance to catch up with friends both old and new.
