		A Burns supper is a celebration of the life and poetry of the poet Robert Burns, author of many Scots poems including "Auld Lang Syne," which is generally sung as a folk song at Hogmanay and other New Year celebrations around the world.
		Burns suppers are most common in Scotland, but they occur wherever there are Burns clubs, Scottish Societies, expatriate Scots, or lovers of Burns' poetry.
		The first suppers were held in Ayrshire at the end of the 18th century by his friends on the anniversary of his death, July 21, In Memoriam and, although the date has changed to the 25th of January since then, they have been a regular occurrence ever since.

	Robert Burns
		Burns was born on January 25, 1759, the son of a poor but ambitious gardener.
		Burns was a farmer; his admiration of the beautiful Ayrshire countryside, and his love of dancing, music and conversation contributed to his personality, charm and deep knowledge of the human spirit, which established his reputation as a man of passion and unique literary talent.
		Burns did not have sufficient confidence in his ability to earn his living by writing, and, with some misgivings, in 1788 he took on the tenancy of a farm north of Dumfries.

		Robert Burns grew up poor, his father a struggling Ayrshire farmer who did his best to educate his bright and lively son even though not many years could be spent at school.
		Still, Burns was a reader and learnt not only the ins and outs of his own language, but English as well (and some French).
		Rather, Robert Burns achieved immortality through his almost single-handed efforts to reinvigorate the Scottish vernacular through his wonderful poetry and his rescue of hundreds of the folk songs of Scotland.

	Robert Burns Country: the official Robert Burns site
		Celebrated on, or about, the Bard's birthday, January 25th, Burns Suppers range from stentoriously formal gatherings of esthetes and scholars to uproariously informal rave-ups of drunkards and louts.
		Most Burns Suppers fall in the middle of this range, and adhere, more or less, to some sort of time honoured form which includes the eating of a traditional Scottish meal, the drinking of Scotch whisky, and the recitation of works by, about, and in the spirit of the Bard.
		So as a Burns Supper chairman it is highly recommended that you come prepared with plenty of literary ammunition with which to arm any unprepared, or reluctant, celebrants.
