Only a week to go until Burns Night 2016 next Saturday! We hope you’re all as excited as we are!
In order to help everyone look their best on the dance floor, we’ve put together a collection of videos of the dances we’ll be doing on the night. The links are at the bottom of the email.
If you still haven’t reserved your tickets, please email beijingcaledoniansociety@nullgmail.com or send a WeChat to oliverbarron.
There will also be one more dance practice this Thursday at 7pm at the British School of Beijing. It will be a special dance practice as we’ll have our live band with us!
Tickets are 800 RMB and include pre-dinner drinks, buffet dinner, free-flow whisky, wine, beer and soft drinks, and late night snacks with Gung Ho Pizza!

We look forward to seeing many of you this coming Saturday at 6.30pm at China World!
