The ability now exists for new and existing members to pay subscriptions on-line using Paypal. You can see details on the Join the 1745 Association page.

27 October STOP PRESS
Following discussion at the Association Council Meeting on 26 Oct 2007 it was decided that the 2008 Gathering should be a full Gathering rather than the one day Event at Prestonpans as proposed at the AGM. The Gathering will be held 28th August 2008-31st August 2008 at the GlenFinnan House Hotel GLENFINNAN. Our Chairman Brigadier John Macfarlane has again agreed to arrange the Gathering under the expert direction of our Secretary Miss Christian Aikman.
John Graham has kindly agreed to act as our coordinator and representative for this event being arranged jointly with Clan Cameron, The Alliance France-Ecosse and possibly another partner. The programme is currently under construction but the general intention is to visit sites of interest and explore the 18th century life of Flanders from appropriate comfortable accommodation in the Lille /Bergues area, culminating with the unveiling of a plaque at the last resting place of The Gentle Lochiel. Please note the dates in your diaries and support John by attending this important event. A detailed programme and application forms will appear on this site and in The Jacobite as soon as arrangements are finalised.
