Pictures From Burns Night
Originally conceived as a Houston reunion party for BP/Britoil Glasgow employees in 2001, the event rapidly expanded to become a Burns Night celebration. Peter Foster was the original convener of the reunion and organizer of the event. As it rapidly expanded in popularity, responsibility for managing the proceedings was soon assumed by a Burns Night Committee and this was incorporated as the non-profit Westside Burns Night Association in 2010.
