Glorious weather and a big crowd met Tartan Day in Martin Place, Sydney on 28 June.

The start of proceedings was delayed by another important cultural event running over time - the Gloria Jeans Franchisee of the Year!

Due to the late change in date only 6 clans were represented, however other than that all went well with lots of dancers, the band, and 9 "new Australians" in the Citizenship ceremony, including one Robert Burns!

***


Please note that the Clan MacNicol NSW Branch AGM is at 2pm on 8 July at the Scottish House in Guildford, NSW.  Please come along if you are interested in supporting your Clan - all are welcome!

Note too that the Australasian Highland Dance Championships are on this weekend (1/2 July) at Newington College.
