The 1927 Society Events
The 1927 Society was pleased to host Burns Night on Saturday, 1 February, in the Mansion. This event showcased what a special community Ashfold is, with a wonderful mix of Old Ashfoldians, current parents, teachers, and friends of the school, bringing together people of all ages.
The evening commenced with a bagpiper on the Oval, welcoming guests to a drinks reception in the Saloon with champagne and canapés. We were then piped into the main dining hall for an exceptional three-course Scottish meal, expertly prepared by Philip Britten and his team.
A truly theatrical occasion, Lord Younger led us through the Parade, Address, and Toast to the Haggis, along with the Loyal Toast, while Colin MacIntosh guided us through the Selkirk Grace and the Immortal Memory. The entertainment continued with Patrick Lord and Hannah Kornicka-McCracken delivering hilarious renditions of the Toast to the Lassies and the Reply from the Lassies.
The evening reached new heights when we returned to the Saloon for some raucous reeling in the Scottish Ceilidh, officiated by Lord Younger, before closing the night in true tradition with Auld Lang Syne.
What a night to remember!
