    I didn't think the date was in question, but rather there actually being an organized celebration. It rather sounds as though displays and talks and such with no pageantry is not a celebration, any more than visiting a museum would be.

    My clan celebrated their 1,000 year anniversary a few years ago. I wasn't aware of any event, gathering, speech, etc that was put on by the clan itself. But I was only a member of an American "society" and not privy to communication from the actual clan.

    Celebrations come in many different forms and the Clan Chief is perfectly entitled to choose the way its going to be done. It is not for others to comment. His choice may not suit everyone, but it is his choice to make.
