Lowestoft is Britain’s most easterly town and it marks the southern gateway to the Norfolk Broads network of waterways. Its prominent easterly position meant that is was greatly damaged in the Second World War, though some of the older parts of the town still remain.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
