The British Ambassador 
    (Sir Simon Gass) with the new 
    Chieftain Ethel Martis prepare to enter the ballroom
    
    

The Guests of Honour 
    are piped to their seats
    
    

The main Hasher's 
    table
    
    

The first course 
    (Smoked Scottish Salmon)
    
    

The Haggis is brought 
    in with great ceremony
    
    

Traditional speech 
    & knife wielding over the Haggis
    
    

The second course 
    of Haggis, Neeps (turnips) & Tatties (potatoes)
    
    

The staff work 
    hard at serving us
    
    

Now loosening-up 
    after eating and some drinking
    
    

The third course 
    (a choice was available)
    This was followed by a sweet course (of course!)
    
    

The band plays 
    another Scottish dance tune
    
    

The waiters bring 
    more bottles of spirits & liqueurs - and coffee
    
    
AND NOW, a few 
    individual portraits of our hashers...
    
 
      
      
 
     
 
    
    
 
      
 
    
    
 
      
 
    
 
      
 
    
 
    
 
    
 
    
 
    
 
    
The Scottish dancing 
    continues
    (Thankfully, the bandleader called all the steps)
    
    
 
    
 
    
 
    
 
    
The piper plays 
    rock!
    
    
 
    
 
    
The piper is very 
    popular with the girls
    
    
 
    
This guy has no 
    problem getting dates!
    
    
 
    
 
    
The DJ plays some 
    good dance tunes
    
    
 
    
Onto the wee hours...
(At this point the photographer was too inebriated to take any more photos)
