Photos from Rabbie Burns Night at The National Club

The National Club's traditional Rabbie Burns Night held on January 24th was a great success.

Supported by the 78th Fraser Highlanders who formed the honour guard and Haggis Party, it was a great night of bagpipes, food and whiskey.

Rooftop Patio Liquor License Received

Dear National Club Members,

I am very pleased to announce that The National Club has received both its final building inspection approval and our rooftop liquor license this week. The new elevator has passed inspection as well, and will deliver you from the 4th floor to inside the comfort of the year-round pavilion on the roof. 

New furniture will be arriving early next week, including luxurious leather chairs and teak tables, and as soon as they are set up, we will be ready to start looking after you in style.

Don't let the cold weather fool you - the large enclosed part of our rooftop patio is heated and there's also a cozy fireplace to keep you warm until the Spring finally shows up.

I look forward to seeing you on the roof.

Stephen
