The Club has maintained a small and growing collection of Burns Books in the local library, but we were asked to relocate them recently at short notice as the library was being refurbished and space was no longer available. They are currently in a member's workplace as we are having difficulty in finding suitable, secure, heated and accessible premises for them. There are two book cases measuring about six feet by eight in total.
If any member has suggestions about where they can be located please contact the club via the "email us" on the Home Page

Ragbag of Rhyme was published by the Club in time for the 2010 St Andrew's Night and each member has received a copy. Further copies are available at £7 -- email via the link on the Home Page or by clicking here.
        An image of the front cover can seen via the Publications button on the Home Page.

A new poem by Ian Mclean ("Auld Jimmy") can be downloaded from the "Publications" page.

As a small aside you may note that the title of one of Jimmy's books is entitled "Robert Burns and Dumbartonshire". Now, the cognoscenti among you will know that , while the town is called Dumbarton, the county is Dunbartonshire.
    Concerned that Jimmy had made a very rare mistake; he was challenged. His reply was that it was Dumbartonshire in Burns's day!

The Club Badge created for the Homecoming Year 2009		Ian Strang's etching
This was an alternative theme for the club badge. It illustrates Burns the farmer and Burns the Writer. However this was rejected as it had no link to our town.
