Sunday Brunch Club Update
20 December 2007
Hello!
Well I have to start with the Stars Christmas party on Saturday. It was just incredible. I'm so thrilled that you enjoyed it so much. We've been inundated with emails and telephone calls saying thank you. We thank you for making it such a fantastic evening - we're already thinking about next one.
People
made such an effort with their costumes that I honestly didn't recognise one or
two people! Super girl pictured left looked amazing and Mata Hari and Tom Cruise were seen
posing for the cameras.

A huge thank you to
Diane and Helen of The Baloonies (pictured below) who
transformed our venue into a lovely ballooned festooned, sparkling Christmas
party venue. They're amazing and have a magic touch. I'd highly recommend them
if you want to add sparkle to any event.
Brian and Peter you were marvellous on the bar - thanks a million for your sterling work. I don't know how I'll repay you!
Finally congratulations to
Aileen Downes aka Cruella Da Ville and
Alan Galloway aka Ghandi who won the best dressed
competition and Tim Searles aka James Bond,
Sue Ayres aka Madonna,
Ellie Marlow and Bridget Hanna aka pink ladies
and Robin Davidson aka Sherlock Homes
who came 1st, 2nd and joint 3rd respectively in the Singing Competition. Tim's
rendition of A Wonderful World was absolutely marvellous. Our team of judges
Paul Palmer, Nick Boyd, Clare Gately
and Stuart Mackenzie did a
brilliant job too.
Red Hot Hogmanay Ceilidh - Start 2008 on a high!
If you missed the Stars party make sure you don't miss our fabulous Red Hot
Hogmanay Ceilidh. So far 142 people have booked so it'll definitely be a sellout.
We just have just a few places left now which will probably be gone by Monday.
Have a fantastic time and don't let your Hogmanay celebrations get rained off
our blown away. As is always the case at Brunch Club events there will be a fun,
friendly atmosphere. It's an event you won't want to miss. The
fabulous
Da Hooley ceilidh band will take us through from 9pm-1am. Haggis, neepies and tatties will be served too for no extra charge. Dress
code: dress for dancing and wear something red or tartan
Do remember that if you prefer to pay on the day it will be £40. No tickets will
be sold on the door without prior reservation - only reserved tickets can be purchased at £40 on the door.

A lively ceilidh with Da Hooley ceilidh band. There's no need to know the

Christmas Eve get together - Monday 24 December
Voodoo Rooms
Last year's Christmas Eve get together was lovely. And especially because while
we were out my Mum stuffed the turkey which was one of the things I wasn't
looking forward to.
Aren't mums wonderful! Pop in for festive chat, lovely company and lots of
laughs.
Rugby: Edinburgh v Glasgow at Murrayfield - Friday
28 December
The first rugby match between Edinburgh and Glasgow took place almost 135 years
ago. Now the inter-city challenge has been resurrected as east takes on west.
There will be lots of festive activities to enjoy, including a ceilidh band pre-
and post-match in the President's suite, choirs and a dance school to entertain
at half-time.
Do something different between Christmas and Hogmanay. There's usually a great
atmosphere at these matches.
