Grand Treasure Hunt |
The kickoff event for the season is always our Treasure Hunt
which takes place in the village of Ayala Alabang. This years
the event will be on Saturday 12th of September, just after
many people have returned from their summer breaks, so a great
chance to catch up.
The
evening centers round a car based hunt around the village
and then concludes with food (Mongolian BBQ) and drinks
well into the wee sma' hours!

St
Andrew's Ball

Ball in celebration of Scotland's patron saint. This year,
and for the 58th year running, we will be back at the Polo
Club, Makati on Saturday 21st of November.
A
traditional night of haggis, whisky and dancing interspersed
with the Address to the Haggis, renditions from visiting
musicians, the Chieftains Invitational Dance and an exhibition
by kids from the British School. A 'Must attend' event! |

Burns Supper |
In
celebration of the 251st birthdate of Robert Burns, Scotland's
finest literary talent, features an Address to his Immortal
Memory followed by toast and replies to the Lassies and
Guests.
Less
formal than the Ball but a great social event all round,
nonetheless. Whilst you don't have to be a haggis chomping,
whisky guzzling, traditional dancing, Burns buff, it certainly
helps!!!
