Notice of resignation
New Committee Members Required!
21 October 2024
To all members of Clan Farquharson UK
We regret to inform you that Alan Caig, the President of Clan Farquharson UK, has resigned from his position due to personal reasons. We appreciate Alan’s contributions and leadership during his tenure and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
With Alan’s resignation, the Clan Farquharson UK Executive Committee now has two vacancies that need to be filled immediately. If you would like to serve your Clan, please contact us via email ([email protected] ). If appointed by the Committee, you will serve until the Annual General Meeting in August, where you can be placed on the ballot and, if voted in by the membership, become a permanent member of the Committee. Serving on the Committee is an excellent way to support our Clan and make a difference. While it doesn’t take a lot of time, there is a lot going on and you can make a big contribution to Clan events, such as the Clan Gathering and the Clan Farquharson representation at the Ballater Highland Games in August. We hope you will step up and join us.
Captain Farquharson’s Coat of Arms
Clan Farquharson UK Appeal for a New Flag
Our Clan Chief, Philip Farquharson, has petitioned the Lord Lyon King of Arms for a new Coat of Arms representing his appointment as Clan Chief on the passing of Captain Alwyne Farquharson. This means that the Clan Chief should have a new flag which we can carry at appropriate events and two pipe banners which can be attached to the large drone of the pipes of the Clan Pipers. These items will cost in the order of £2,000.00. Accordingly, we now make an appeal to our members and partners to contribute towards the cost of these colours.
We have a Paypal account under our dedicated email [email protected] so you may log on to www.paypal.com and make a payment to the clan society using that email. Please mark your payment as “FLAG” so that we keep this money separate from our other finances. Any amount, large or small, will be gratefully received and this appeal will close at the end of 2024.
We are planning a formal event at our Gathering in 2025 when we hope a very special VIP will present these colours to our Clan Chief.
Thank you.
