Any Clan/Family Society Officers

I think that I am not alone here from a Scottish point of view in saying that most of us don't belong to Clan associations, why should we? We are already in the Clan-------if we are interested------ and the Clan tartan is more than enough for us.

In South Africa I suspect there are clan societies active in places like Cape Town and Johannesburg, but I have never encountered them in the Eastern Cape.
I have attended some functions of the Port Elizabeth Scottish Association, but have not felt the need to join it so far. In any case, if I do join, my wife will not be involved because of her negative attitude towards kilts, bagpipes and anything Scottish.

I wear the family tartan and that's enough for me until I can afford to join my Clan Society or the Saint Andrews Scottish Society or both. My wife and I are saving up to move to Florida in a few months so funds are somewhat tight right now.

I see that being a n000b here I may not see the poll or the poll has closed , but I am a Clan Fergusson member et al , and am serving in one appointed confirmed position already as Clan IT Manager , and was recently appointed Region 6 VP for general membership organizational and recruiting purposes . For this second position I was appointed by our clan president , but must be confirmed by the board of directors at the clans AGM in a few months . From my perspective the difference in being 'in the clan' and being an officer in elected position is that I am { will be } responsible for { or will be when confirmed } for being part of shaping the future of our organization from the 501c aspect as well as the convener / nitty gritty wearing the clan tartan and showing off my not so knobby knees to the public at various festivals .
