Andy piped a welcome to members at the Sweeney Hall Hotel, near Oswestry and recited the Rabbie Burns poem, Address to the Haggis before members toasted the haggis.

President of Borderland, Cathy Osselton said it was wonderful for members to be together again at a social occasion.

She said: “I’d forgotten how loud bagpipes are when played indoors but it made for a great evening. It’s now time to get back to work on the club's projects after the disruption of the last two years.”

The club was able to organise the Oswestry Christmas Procession in December and is now looking forward to the popular Mountain Bike Challenge, returning in May after a break of two years.
