2009 Year of Homecoming ~ Edinburgh Scotland July 25-26, 2009


Here we are in the Parade going up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh!

We are all back home now from a most wonderful Gathering in Scotland!
Everyone's pictures are being uploaded onto PhotoBucket.com and will be ready to view soon.


We had a beautiful Clan Wardlaw tent at the Edinburgh Games!

President Bill Wardlaw in his full Wardlaw Tartan regalia at our Clan Wardlaw tent in Edinburgh!

Each clan got to have one person meet Prince Charles. Here our representative, Diane Wardlaw, Sennaiche/Historian/Writer of the Clan Wardlaw, shakes hands with the Prince and had a lovely conversation.

On Tuesday, the 28th, we had a Clan Wardlaw Gathering at Pitreavie Castle where a Piper and Highland Dancers performed for us! Kevin and Laura Simpson were then made Honorary Clan Wardlaw Association members. We had a Bond of Friendship Ceremony with the Buchanan Society.

 

Then had 2 days of a Wardlaw Scotland Tour!

Our last night together we had a lovely dinner, three tables-full, at the 'Restaurant 102' in Musselburgh.

Wish you all could have been with us for this memorable, momentous, once-in-a-lifetime event trip!!

Members will get our newsletters regularly, so sign up now! Dues are only $20 USD per year. Don't miss it! Lots of news!


  Mark sent me this really cool picture of him in his full Scottish outfit! Wow!

He writes:

"We're busy with activities with the St. Andrews Society.  I joined the color guard and we recently completed the Scottish Walk in Alexandria, VA, (see pic) and we have the Burns Night Supper coming up.  The majority of the guard are from the MacKenzie Clan, so we wear their tartan.  I hope to get the Wardlaw kilt this year."


See next box for his company.


   We now have our first sponsor/advertiser! Our own member #63, Mark Wardlaw, has a remodeling business in Bowie, Maryland.
This is a great way to get your advertising word out and have a nice advertising tax deduction at the same time. Your ad will run on our website as well as in our newsletters.
Cost for an ad is $50, payable to the CWA. Money will help further our ability to offer you more activities in the future, such as we have done in the past with our tartan and coat-of-arms. We are now able to have a booth in local Highland Games across the country. We have a nice large banner with our logo, tartan and arms. Local members in each area are encouraged to get involved with their highland games and participate in our booth.
Thanks, Mark! You can visit Mark at his website: www.bnvhome.com
Thanks to Mark Wardlaw, too, for taking our Wardlaw Tartan to the 'Kirkin' o' the Tartans' at the Washington National Cathedral in Wash., DC April 19, 2008.
He said that our Wardlaw Tartan is now blessed and that the ceremony was beautiful! There were some 60-75 clans represented! The St. Andrews Society's own Pipe & Drum Corps was perfect! Maybe next year many of our members can plan on attending this wonderful ceremony!
 




We now have 142 CWA members and climbing! Don't miss out! Join today!
Thanks to all our new members who have joined since the mailing of our last 'Wardlaw Ivermair' newsletter! We welcome all of you and know you will enjoy being a part of this exciting lifelong venture!
