DALRY BURNS CLUB - Federation No. 35.
Montgomerie's Inn, Dalry, Ayrshire, 1825 and several well-read cronies would debate any topic.
One night, the talk was of Robert Burns, leading to his songs and recitations of his works.
A suggestion of forming a Burns Club was proposed and agreed, holding its first supper in January 1826.
Each year since, there has been an annual supper.
