Off topic but (money ) Do you think that the http://www.london2012.com/

I live in easy driving distance of London, but here in Norfolk, we see this very much as a LONDON event.

Thanks for the information Alex, very interesting indeed. My lovely wife and I shall definitely be in Scotland in 2014 for the celebrations and festivities! Perhaps this would be an opportune time for many XMarker's to be together in one place - what fun that would be!

Cheers,

Just announced:

"The Plans for Clans 2014, an international gathering of the clans (11 – 13 July 2014) are taking shape, to include a Clans Village, a cavalcade procession between the Village and Stirling Castle, and entertainment on the spectacular Castle Esplanade. There would also be a programme of musical and other cultural events in venues across the city. Clans 2014 will run alongside the Sekonda Stirling Highland Games. There will be a link-up with the Bannockburn Battlefield site to give visitors another opportunity to commemorate the special 700th anniversary."

Two separate threads on The Gathering 2014 have been merged.

Since we have two discussions going on in this thread; the first information on the upcoming 2014 Gathering., and the second, a discussion about the financial loss of the 2009 Gathering and what can be done not to repeat the situation for the 2014 Gathering. Let’s separate the threads:

I was just thinkin.... The week in between Bannockburn 700 and Clans 2014 would be perfect for individual clan AGMs.

Don't you think?
