Burns Night Prague 9.1.06

Happy new year and best wishes for 2006!

Just when you think January is going to be a cold, hard working and dreary month, this newsletter arrives in your mailbox reminding you of a great night to look forward to!

If you are a lover of Poetry, all things Scottish, Whisky, Song, Dance, or just a great night out, don't miss Prague's great cultural celebration of the national poet of Scotland, Robert Burns!

Here is an update on the plans, and a reminder that the last day for ticket confirmation is 18/1, and there is a good chance of selling out before then (the whisky tasting will certainly sell out)
