The Caledonian Society Bonn |
|
The Caledonian Society Bonn was founded around 1946 by the British armed forces and later run by employees of the British Embassy. Today the Caledonian Society Bonn is under the patronage of H.M Consul-General Maxwell Scott, Düsseldorf. The society promotes Scottish traditions and international relations and is open to everyone sharing these interests. We hold several social events per year and organise weekly Scottish country dancing practices from September to June in Bonn .
The highlight of our social events is our annual St. Andrew’s Night Children’s Charity Ball. This year it took place on November 28th 2009 at the MARITIM Hotel Bonn. Our main sponsors in 2009 are Beam Global with The Famous Grouse Whisky, Ford of Europe, Volvo Autobank Köln, Macsween of Edinburgh, Walkers Shortbread, P& O North Sea Ferries along with many other British and German companies. The proceeds of this ball are donated to children’s charities in Scotland and Germany. Since 1997, we have donated € 89,500 to children’s charities. In spring 2009, we donated € 3,000 from the proceeds made in 2008. This donation went to the Aberlour Child Care Trust, Stirling, Scotland and Bunter Kreis Bonn-Ahr-RheinSieg. E.V., Germany, where our proceeds of 2009 will also be donated to. |
