We've just noticed spell check has changed Les Oman to less Oman. More Oman is what we would say 😀.

[Campbeltown Old Pals @weetoonoldpals]

We had a wonderful Burns Day celebration with Anne Leith, less Oman and Alastair Gillies all performing for us. Thanks to the staff @MachDune Iain Johnston and Alex McKinven for helping to organise and look after us on the day.
