THE skirl of the pipes and the appearance? of kilts of many tartans at Mytton Fold Farm Hotel and Res­


taurant on Friday heralded Clitheroe Rotary Club’s second mini Burns Night. The event, which attracted 115 members and


guests, raised about £200 for Rotary charities. Members were treated to an excellent exhibition of Scottish dancing by Kimberloe Walsworth (18), of


Clitheroe, the granddaughter of Rolarian Walter Graham. Kimberlee, a pupil al St Augustine’s School.


Billington, performed a Highland fling and a sword dance. There was also Scottish dancing by Clitheroe Oale-'


(Ionian Society, music from local pipers, the Sounds Accordion Band from Yorkshire, and a song from Rodney Hailwood. Members enjoyed traditional fare, including


haggis.
