Clan member news

Nejen, Sir Aaron, Drayzzok and Maerik have all levelled up recently. Congratulatons! Around twenty of our fortyish members are now level 2. Ragehammer has become a level 3, he and Vermelaine are our two senior members. Saliery made it Lanark. He joins Destrata there, with another three going through the application process. This will make it our second largest outpost within a week. Not to be totally outdone, there's also two would-be-members applying in Whithorn.

National Politics

Our clan supported the proposed national constitution in discussions amongst all the clans. Eventually the Gathering voted about 14 in favour, nil against, 3 abstentions. We now await the County councils to ratify the constitution. If they all do, we will have a national government.

Part of the National Government will be the National Assembly. As of right, we will have two seats as a clan in the national assembly. Ragehammer and Lucifera have kindly stepped forward to be our voice in the assembly. It was important to select our two representatives as soon as possible in case the assembly is formed suddenly, and to allow our delegates to get used to the national point of view. I know they will do us and scotland proud.

County Affairs

County elections are less than three weeks away in Galloway. The present Council has three MacTavishes on it, Lady Robin, Antek and Aelin. We were involved in the United Clans of Scotland list of candidates. There is no UCS ticket this coming election. We have members involved in the Scottish Democratic Party (Aelin, Bonquida and Yankie on the ticket, various others of us in the party). The only other list is 'Clan Forbes', so I won't comment on which way I'd suggest we vote...

Generally, as Chieftain I am immensely proud of our clan. Many of us seem content with quietly advancing ourselves in our home towns. But we are hanging in there, and advancing steadily. Very few of us have quit the game in the last six months, I great sign in a game like this. I think Bonquida expresses it well in his recent post on our forum.

To the Honour of MacTavish and the Glory of Scotland!
