Romsey Rugby Club hosted its most successful Burns Night yet, with nearly 100 guests.
The event, on Friday, January 24, was sponsored by Parker Bullen LLP, Anchor Maintenance and Cocky Anchor.
The club said this was its "most successful" Burns Night to date, with more than 90 people heading to the clubhouse for a night of Scottish tradition, food and dancing.
The event was opened by Paul Stevens who piped in the haggis before traditional neeps and tatties were served by caterer Kane Bassett.
There was a poetry recital of Robert Burns' poems before the Ceilidh Tree Band led the club in Scottish dancing.
