Canterbury Clan Gunn Meeting

Greetings

Last Sunday we enjoyed a very pleasant gathering, afternoon tea and general catch-up. We discussed future gatherings and have come up with a good idea

Postponed until April 12 at 2pm

We will be holding a...........

BRING AND BUY SALE

Please come along with any

PLANTS OR BULBS (from your garden), 

-any excess FRUIT OR VEGETABLES from your garden - 

SECOND HAND BOOKS OR MAGAZINES 

or SOME HOME BAKING etc. .

The idea is that 10% of your takings will go to Clan Gunn Canterbury funds. .....BUT THAT`S NOT ALL........

We plan to gather for a Lunch at Sequoia Restaurant some time May/June and depending on the funds received at the Plant Sale the cost of this Lunch to members will be subsidised from Clan Gunn Canterbury funds.

So...off you go and see what you can do to produce something to sell on 22nd March.

Good hunting....

Clan Gunn

About the Clan

Motto: Aut Pax Aut Bellum (Either peace or war)

Gaelic Name: Clan Guinnich

Badge: Rose Root

Crest: Arm Waving Sword

Scottish Clans have either Pictish, Celtic or Norse origins. The Clan Gunn is Norse in origin, claiming descent from Guinn or Gunni, the second son of Olaf, a chief in Caithness, and is believed to have been formed from him in the 12th Century. Their lands are in the far north of Scotland in Caithness. They fought for and against the Earls of Sutherland the MacKays, and to a lesser extent, the Sinclairs. Their arch enemy however, was the Clan Keith with whom they feuded for 500 years. The peace treaty between the two Clans was only signed as recently as 1978.
