About the Association
The clan runs on volunteers
No experience needed. If you can smile, set up a folding table and say “Welcome, cousin,” you can help.

Most needed
Become a convener
A convener hosts the MacLachlan tent at a Highland game or Celtic festival. It is the single most important thing we do: almost every new member meets us first under a tent.
What conveners do
Register the clan with the event and set up the tent, table and display
Greet visitors and help them find out whether they are MacLachlans
Gather fellow members for the Parade of Tartans
Keep a guest register and pass new contacts to the Secretary
What you get
The Convener Handbook, display checklists, forms, and support from the Board. Approved costs, such as tent fees, can be reimbursed.
