St Andrew's Ball 2024 - Nov 30th

Malcolm MacGillivrayThe Saint Andrew’s Society of the Algarve is a small group of Scots and other nationalities whose main aim is to promote things Scottish, but also to enjoy ourselves. This year our annual ball will take place on St Andrew's Day, November 30th from 7pm. Come and join us!

This is a particularly special occasion. It will be the last ball organized by the present committee.

Once again it will be at the marvellous 5-star Penina Hotel, where participants will be greeted by the skirl of the pipes played by our wonderful piper, Malcolm MacGillivray.

As usual, a sumptuous Grand Buffet will be available, with Scottish dancing and the excellent Ceilidh band from Scotland, “The Sound of Islay” afterwards. Each dance will be talked and walked through beforehand, so no need for beginners to hang back!

So, a great opportunity to get out your glad rags and have a great time.

Tickets are €55 for members, or €57.50 for non members.

Payment by bank transfer can be made to Catherine Prentice  at PT50 0033 0000 5007 2535 38605. Please add a reference of your name/St Andrews.
