2008 Ft. Victoria St. Andrews Dinner, Sat. Nov. 9th, Union Club, Victoria, B.C.

The Ft. Victoria Outpost, in the process of re-invigorating their ranks, was kind enough to invite the Ft. Vancouver ranks to their St. Andrews Dinner.  Besides the dinner, there was a cocktail hour before, plenty of scotch tasting, Ode to a Haggis, and Bagpipes and Sword Dancing from a local Scottish Dance troupe.  Also, Ensign Jeff Williams from the Fort Vancouver Outpost was promoted to Lieutenant.

Many thanks to all at Ft. Victoria for the exquisite accomodations and fantastic dinner and entertainment!
