Colin Prince the Honorary Piper, Pipes in the Federation Officials who are introduced to everyone by past chief, Ernest Barlow-Jones who is Master of Ceremonies.
Entertainment for the evening included by a selection from the Pietermaritzburg Pipe Band, again, a wonderful group who really enjoy their music. Songs from a member of the Band, Nick Taylor, who had us all join in and sing along. Wonderful Scottish Country Dancing from a group of Ladies and Gentlemen who had traveled from Howick, on this cold and misty evening, and who did not stop dancing all night. There was a lovely violin selection from Lesley Durrans, whose fingers must have been really hot by the time she had finished she played such lively tunes, wonderful.
The Federation Chief Jean Kelly remarked that it really is a privilege to be entertained by such talented people, and we thank you all. Natal Societies are lucky to have such talent in their midst.
The food was provided by the Ladies of the Society and we all enjoyed their efforts. We all got up and danced ourselves warm with the Country Dancers encouraging us on and the Band playing for us, a wonderful evening was had by all. All to early we had to bid farewell and “Haste ye Back”
