In 1999, Irvine Burns Club was one of the first Burns Clubs in Scotland to have an online presence - this led to Chinese Channel Europe filming the 2003 Annual Celebration for a food programme broadcast across Europe later that year, and to Cerys Matthews (a founding member of Catatonia) contributing to the entertainment in 2009.
While Wellwood continues to welcome those who can visit, the 2022 redesign takes Wellwood to the world. There are more images and more resources, in more readily accessible formats, while expanding the information gathered over two decades. Read the Jan. 2022 launch-month testimonials ("something of an armchair museum").
Credits: Website redesign by Ian J Dickson (President 1996), with thanks to many directors, members and friends, including Jim Butler (Pres. 1993), Iain Doole (Pres. 2009), Margaret Greenlees (Pres. 2023), Robert Haswell (Pres. 1999), Derek Murdoch (Pres. 2016), Rosemary Murdoch (Pres., Irvine Lasses Burns Club 2019-21), Anne & Richard Foley (Spanish text), Charlie Gilmour (statue video), and Michel Monsigny (French text).
