I don't know where you are from, but I have a classmate who is in the leadership of a midwest section of Clan Cameron, and I have seen him go to great lengths to welcome new folks and get them started. They seem to always have a fair sized group at games around. Lots of good food, spirits, and socializing.

Maybe it's not the same all over... just my observation.
Hi, and thanks for the reply. I hadn't expected one on this thread.

We're outside Philadelphia, and members of the Mid-Atlantic branch. I was certainly expecting something from the branch, and perhaps even from the North American mother-ship. Still waiting, too.

Which is not to say the branch is inactive; they do have a presence at a number of games. (But I bet it's the same 3 people all the time.)

I know there are other quite active branches, but based on your input and some general knowledge it seems to be driven locally, not from the national organization.

Perhaps your friend in the mid-west could nudge the easterners. At least get 'em to put some content on the chapter's website.

I didn't mean to sound overly growly in my original post, but throwing 20 bucks downwind on a dark night kind'a rang my Scots thrift alarm.

Peace
