Our next meeting is being held on Wednesday 24th February, 2010, on the second floor Conference Room, at the Combined Services RSL Club at 5 - 7 Barrack Street in Sydney’s CBD at 1pm.  If desired join us for lunch in the Club’s Bistro from noon.  This is our AGM. 

 

Note meetings are held usually on the third Wednesday of February (AGM), May, August and November. Note - This meeting is a week later than usual.

 

The second function is our Clan MacRae Bathurst Highland Gathering Day and Dinner on Sunday 21st March, 2010.  Please come and join the various members, relations and friends of the Clan MacRae Society of Australasia and New Zealand for this special day at the Scots School at Bathurst from 10am. Our Clan tent is in the main ring. Note - You don’t have to necessarily come all day, you can come after lunch and then stay for the dinner if you wish. 

Join us for a cup of tea or coffee and some Scottish fruitcake and shortbread. Watch the massed Pipe Bands from all over New South Wales go through their various maneuvers and their magnificent display.  Be sure to look at the MacRae/Scottish display.  See the massive castle (which one of the MacRae clan members help build) in the middle of the parade ground and visit the many stalls. 

The Scots School is located at Bathurst off Sydney Road at Kelso and onto O’Connell Road for less than a kilometre. 

In the evening everyone is invited to join us at the local Rose Garden Restaurant in Church Street, off William Street, from 6.30pm. People just order and pay for what they order.  People can just come to the meal in the evening if they want.  No dressing up for the dinner, quite informal.  Some rough numbers of those attending would be handy though.

Anyone interested or any questions you can contact me (Alan McRae) on 63321622 (work) or email amcrae@lisp.com.au  or bathurst@eastmon.com.au
