Page 1 The ‘sangs and clatter’ of a Burns Supper For all his adult life, Robert Burns was a Freemason. In fact, he was the Senior Warden of Lodge St Andrew in Dumfries at the time of his death at the age of only 37. So, around the time of his birthday, lodges all over the world celebrate the life and works of the bard. Several in Gloucestershire join in the fun; perhaps by introducing ‘haggis, neeps and tatties’ at the festive board or, as Western Tideway Lodge here demonstrates, having a full-blown special occasion with the lassies invited. Right: WM John Vowles and Treasurer Dave Mountford, used the occasion to present Alan Gilbertson (centre) with a cheque for £1,000, in aid of the Hall Extension Fund. Haggis, neeps and tatties!
