Karaoke Chinese, Forum, Dumfries

The Scottish Association is very proud of its strong revenues and benefits forum. Meetings are well attended and quarterly meetings are supported by most authorities in Scotland.
For a number of years, of all the meetings during the year, a firm favourite has been the November meeting, usually held in Dumfries. This has become something of a tradition, as it is preceded, the evening before, by a karaoke in a Chinese restaurant in the town.
The IRRV National President is always encouraged to kick off proceedings with a rendition of their favourite karaoke number (or to settle for something which IS actually available in the limited volumes of backing tracks available in English!).


Here, Julie bravely chooses from the back catalogue of "Now That's What I Call Chinese Volume 32"

I'm sure all attendees would agree that the highlight of the 2008 karaoke was Bob Mackay's "moving" performance of "Sweetly Sings the Donkey" .... a "popular" children's classic (no, we had never heard of it either!!!).




Mike Peterson provided much hilarity by producing a Twinkle Toes bib - modelled here by Hillary (there's always one person daft enough!)

Much fun was had by all - an excellent evening as always.

Looking forward to returning in 2009.
