Dave Calder - a yellow fellow!
It's official - the most dastardly defection to the East since Ronnie Gallagher of nefarious memory joined Carnethy (boo! hiss!). To chasten the renegade, and hasten him on his way, a motley crowd of Westies of venerable vintage (speak for yerself! I do!) gathered in the Westy Baths, where wetting of whistles rather than torsos was the disorder of the day. Dave kindly provided a polyglot buffet, which I think should get double Curry League points for sheer diversity. A post-pigout disco was the next hazard - actually the best wigging-out jigging I've managed for a while! - punctuated by a fine serving of a farewell Ode by Big Al, and the presentation of a customised Westy vest bearing a most rude slogan in Calder-Cantonese. Sorry I missed the singing of the Westies Flag: was I flagging?!Posted by Graeme Orr on Sun 10 Oct 2010 | 4 comments

M&D, thanks for a great night. Four hours of dancing aided by a good dose of Prosecco was just the warm-up ticket for the Pentland Skyline. Every bogging step of the way was for you Dave. As Big Al said, haste ye back.

I'd like to echo that thanks, but without the dancing and the Skyline, for the less fit among us!

Indeed, what a great night. Thanks Dave & Muffy for your wonderful hospitality. Has anyone got a voice today?

Big thanks to Dave and Dean for a great night out, but with a wee tinge of sadness. We now look forward to regular bulletins from the far east and long may we live to see the return of Dave with a yellow horde of new recruits.
