Mr David Stobie, of Dun
fermline, was invited to pro pose the toast to the “Immor tal Memory of Robert Bums”. The Rev. Sandy Mailer gave
the toast “Tae the Lasses” and Miss Kirsten Reid replied. Mrs Helen Walker, one of
the society's dance teachers, who has retired from teaching, and her husband, were guests of the society. During the course of the
evening she was presented with Charles Rennie Mackintosh jewellery, a cheque and a bou quet, in recognition of almost 20 years’ service to the society. The evening concluded with
dancing to the Hoghton Scot tish Country Dance Band. The event was the start of a
busy time for the society. On March 21st to 23rd, the
society takes over Newfield Hall, Malham, for a society weekend of socialising, eating, drinking, dancing and walking. On March 26th there will be

the prison service was commit ted to treating prisoners with integrity, respect and dignity. Whatever offence they had com mitted, they were entitled to the same respect and humane treat ment any other human being might be offered, he said. After getting the two pupils to

in no doubt that Diison was no't a prison
soft option. Where was the decency,
integrity and respect in condi tions such as these, he asked? However, Mr Newton
described life in a prison as disci plined, neither soft nor harsh, but constructive and designed to address the needs of the prison ers - whose backgrounds and low levels of literacy, allied to mas sive drug dependency, did not encourage them to break the cycle of re-offending. He admitted that his resettle
ment vision was far from being realised, but he believed that once it was achieved, society would see prison as "working". Ex-inmates would re-introduce themselves into society, start to contribute to it and save the public purse the' billions of pounds it costs each year for their arrest and incarceration. This was not sloppy liberal
ism, but a practical commitment to care and a responsible use of the opportunity to change peo ple's lives, he said. In thanking Mr Newton, Mr
Paul Warrilow, head of religious studies, said that what the pupils had heard was both salutary and thought-provoking. I t broke down so many stereotypical views of prison, and encouraged them to consider their own atti tudes to crime and the way in which the courts should treat people.
