What features make a clan tent appealing and engaging

[bdkilted]

I agree with Chas, but in addition to Downunder's comments, I would suggest that you get pictures of the castles that are related to your clan. As a Keith, I have pictures of Dunnottar and Inverugie. I also have a picture of Marischal College in Aberdeen which was started by one of the Earl Marischals. I try to keep some of our clan newsletters available for folks who may want to join. Finally we try to keep something with our current chief's crest on it that we can give away. People really like free stuff. We print off the crest on card stock and then make book marks and fans (using wooden popsicle sticks). Finally I keep "Kith N Kin" book to look up the clans of others who stop by our tent. Of course this is all in addition to the tables with tartan, and other stuff just to pretty it up. Hope this helps.

Here are the pictures from my tent this year. I also had Scott MacMillan there and he is like gold in a clan tent.

Don't forget about a wee dram of Scotch for your clan tent guests...

I think Harold meant to type "old" not gold! An interesting display of items -- and not necessarily clan specific items -- is always a major plus in any clan tent. Believe it or not, an antique golf club is just about as interesting as a replica dirk to most folks attending your local games, especially if you can some how link it to something to do with your clan, even if it's only your annual Clan Society golf outing.
