The two main functions organised by the Club are the annual Burns Supper and the St. Andrew's Night.
Both event are formal dress : the Supper being men only and the St Andrew's Night is a mixed dinner.
The year it took place on 27th January in Alexandria Masonic Temple: 116 members and guests attended.
The St Andrew's Night is on the Friday nearest to 30th November.
This year it took place on 2nd December at Strathclyde Homes Stadium
Traditionally, the President gives the Immortal Memory at the supper but it is his choice of speakers for the St. Andrew's Night.
The entertainment at the Supper is from our own pool of talented speakers and singers.
Applications for new members are alway welcome.

As you may have noticed, the Club celebrated it's 150th Anniversary in 2009 : many special events took place and we hope to issue
an updated edition of our publication " The History of Dumbarton Burns Club" to celebrate these events.
It is hoped that this be available around January 2012
