A special 2009 Gathering Event will be held in Edinburgh next year over the weekend of the 24, 25, 26 of July as part of the Homecoming Celebrations. The main event being Highland Games held in Holyrood Park over the Saturday and Sunday, where there will also be Clan tents (Clan Hannay has already booked theirs). The AGM will be on the Friday evening in St Georges West Church Hall, Shandwick Place, Edinburgh. 6.00pm for the AGM and dinner at 7.30pm (GBP18.00 for dinner, no cost if just coming to the AGM).
On the Saturday there will be a parade of Clans from Holyrood to the Castle, where a pageant will take place. Numbers allowed in the parade are limited and to take part in this and attend the pageant it is necessary to buy a "passport". All the gold passports have been sold out. It was agreed that The Chief would make an advance booking for Silver Passports (GBP95.00) for all wishing to go, Bronze Passports may still be available from Homecoming. It was also decided not to have the usual May Gathering but to have some kind of event at that time (there will be a Clan Working weekend at the Tower with a Saturday evening barbecue and music).
