. Step into a time capsule and witness the vibrant scene that unfolded on January 1st, 1966, as jubilant crowds gathered at Hotel Leofric to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new. The air was filled with excitement and anticipation as three members of the esteemed Standard Motor Company Pipe Band took center stage, resplendent in their Royal Stuart tartan attire. Their rhythmic drumming echoed through the hearts of 450 revelers who cheered them on with unbridled enthusiasm. Amidst this joyous atmosphere steeped in tradition, all eyes turned towards the head chef who presented a culinary masterpiece - a customary haggis prepared with utmost care. As its savory aroma wafted through the room, it symbolized not only an homage to Scottish customs but also a delicious start to another promising year.
