Clan Colquhoun Society of the United Kingdom
If you have come this far, you must be seriously thinking about joining us. I have to admit that I was dubious at first but I think that in retrospect it was a good decision to join the Society. My wife and I have made some very good friends in the 6 years or so that we have been members and having attended every Gathering except the very first one we now would not miss it.
With your membership you get one quality Journal a year, with a mixture of the history of the Clan and people who have had an interesting life. As far as we are aware we are the only Society that issues a Journal so there is a tremendous amount of reading material throughout the year.
Now lets get down to business, I'm sure you didn't come this far to hear me going on and on. What you are interested in is how much is it going to cost you. I have listed below the current charges which will be applicable from 1st April 2004, which is the start of our Financial year, and the renewal of membership date.
