Jan 2003	BURNS NIGHT SUPPER 2003 - 18 January Thanks to all but particularly Alex & Andrew for their great efforts. Jim O'Rourke was an exceptional guest, very well received by the members. He sent a letter of thanks to our Chairman, which included the following: "I wish to express my thanks to all at London Hibs for the kindness shown to myself, my partner Anne, my brother John and sister-in-law Judi on our visit to London at the weekend for the Burns’ Supper."

Signed Ian Murray and Wayne Rooney strips were won by members!
