Clan Donald tent assistance!

[Nathan]

Hi there,

I've decided to set up a Clan Donald tent at the Cobourg Highland Games on June 15th. There is no Clan society branch in my area and I mean to change that. The organizers of the games have welcomed me and the High Commissioner of Clan Donald Canada has given me the *GREEN* light to work the tent.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they have any materials that I can use to set up the tent.

I've been invited to take part in the March of the Clans at the beginning of the games and have no flag. Nor do I know what I'd need to do to make one. Any advice or materials would be greatly appreciated.

Otherwise I'm showing up with my kilt and a stack of membership applications.

Best wishes w' yer venture but I canna help.

The title of the thread is supposed to read Clan Donald "tent" assistance. If a mod could fix that typo, I'd be most grateful!

Wish I could help, but Calgary is a bit far away!

Best of luck! I've manned a tent for the Clan Macpherson Branch many times, it's always a good time meeting folks and fellow Macphersons.

Enjoy,

If you have some Clan Donald tartan cloth, attach it to a pole and you have a flag recognisable to those who should (probably not how you would want to stand out ).

I wonder if "the red light" means he is ok with it. Because I would say he gave "the green light".

Anyway good luck with the tent. From what I've seen and heard on youtube you're gonna need a guitar and people will flock around your tent.

Nathan, I applaud your vigor!

Cobourg has a pretty good HG. I was there last year and it seemed to be well run, but not the largest of southern Ontario games.

I noticed that there were a few clan tents, but alas, no Clan Donald. It would be great if the Grand Clan had a "showing".

Nathan, PM me. I live not far from there.

I would say you would want a banner for the front of the tent or table and a smile!

Oh, and a few more for good luck that show some more stuff hanging from the tent. Also pictured is the Missouri Clan Donald flag.

That's a great looking display A Theàrlaich!

Where do people get those wonderful tents? I was going to use a personal mosquito tent it might be 8 by 8. Pretty lame, really.
