General :

Our activities are member driven, the Clan Society exists and operates as an extended family, while the day to day management is overseen by the Executive Council (elected annually by the members). We organize various functions and activities suggested by the Clansfolk.

Our Annual general Meeting in March each year to handles the Societies financial and statuary obligations, as well as, major policy / constitutional or governance matters and the election of Office Bearers. We thus do away with regular, boring “business meetings”, to concentrate on the social educational and fraternal support of our Clansfolk throughout the year.

We provide members with (4) quarterly Newsletters covering activities, cultural and heritage matters, news from around the Clan, humour and pictorial subjects of interest to Members, and genealogy matters.

We participate in activities within the local community – Ceilidhs, Highland Gatherings, inter-clan picnics, functions and annual Kirking of the Tartan, as well as our own social functions such as Soup luncheons, Clan picnics, and “at homes”, variously throughout the year.
