| Drill |
Every year we join with the Minnesota Coalition of Scottish Clans to celebrate our Scottish heritage. We march in the parade and fire a musket salute.
Tartan Day is being held Sunday April 10, not on Saturday as in previous years. We will gather at 2:30 at the foot of the capitol mall and march up to the capitol steps for a program starting at 3:00. The inclement weather backup plan is to gather in the rotunda. We will be firing our muskets as part of the program, though not in the rotunda.
For more information see http://www.mntartanday.org/701.html.
It Is Time for Annual Dues Once Again. Clann Tartan uses a fiscal year of April through March, and for simplicity, all members' dues are for the same time period. The following members are paid beyond March 2011. If your name is not in this list, your dues are expiring on March 31st and you need to renew in order to continue performing with the group.
John Debnam, Eric & Hellen Ferguson, Cate Hesser, Maeve Kane, Margaret Kirkpatrick, Elizabeth LeClaire, Glenn & Mia McDavid, Penndra Moyer, Patty Simondet, Sarah Shaftman, the Swenson family, Bruce & Julie Yoder.
Dues are $20 for adults and families, $10 for students. Payments can be given to me at meetings, drills or events; mailed to the PO box, or mailed directly to Bruce Yoder, our Treasurer at 4736 12th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55407.
One or two of our most experienced living historians will talk about how to create and develop the person you portray in camp, and you?ll have time to pore over the books and articles in our library, almost all of which may be checked out. Read about Scottish and European history, folklore, language, religion, food, clothing and other textiles, various crafts, music, and of course war. There are also materials specifically on living history and other groups that practice it. Margaret is the host, beginning with company drill at noon in her back yard. Contact her if you need directions.
On the last weekday of this month, Clann Tartan gives a hundred and ten eighth-graders what they’ve spent years waiting for: 17th-century Things that Go Bang. Jake Cimino, who teaches World History at the junior high school in the Baldwin & Woodville, Wisconsin, school district, wants his students to get hands-on experience of history and to see what it is that historians do. Clann members oblige by spending the day explaining their character’s role in Colonel Gaffney’s Regiment to groups of ten students as they make their way around the encampment. It’s a long day—the school invites members of the public to show up once school hours conclude—but Jake says his students are almost all very engaged with the goings-on, especially when the muskets or mortar get fired. Here’s the school’s Web page for our host: <http://www.bwsd.k12.wi.us/middle/teachers/jcimino/SitePages/Home.aspx>.
As Margaret noted in the first call (sent out March 23), besides offering a demonstration of your choice, Clann members can help with food preparation and traffic direction during the school day, and with setup on the school grounds the preceding evening. Sleep in your own bed if you like, as Woodville is an hour or an hour and a half from the Twin Cities. Students begin visiting the encampment at 9:00 or 9:30 on Friday morning, with an hour for lunch at noon. At this writing we plan to close around 6 p.m., then tear down and head for home. Contact staff if you have questions, and please watch your e-mail for further information, such as times for loading and setup. And if you have any questions you think students would benefit from asking your character, please let staff know—Jake makes a list for them just in case they run out of ideas. Thanks!
Mark your calendars! Saturday, May 14, Clann will be participating in the Minnesota Scottish Fair and Highland Games. Here's the website: http://www.mnscottishfair.org/.
We can camp Friday and Saturday nights, although the fair is at the Dakota County fairgrounds in Farmington, only about a half-hour drive from the center of the cities, so it's also very easy to day-trip. There are flush toilets and showers on the grounds and lots of free parking. This was a really great event last year, and this year promises to be even better!
May 21 at 1:00 PM at Lake Hiawatha Center (Same location as Wednesday dance). As someone told your editor long ago, if you want to make a difference the first thing you have to do is show up.
Johndezvous is Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-30.
Johndezvous is a Gaffneyis event where we gather at the O'Duggan household to have fun making stuff, 20628 Whistle Pass Drive, Lewiston MN, between Rochester and Winona. See the article below for more information.

A lot of valuable information is in the current Clann Tartan Manual.
Items must be received by the 15th of each month to be considered for inclusion for the upcoming months issue. Mailed submissions will not be returned unless requested. All pertinent submissions will be considered as space permits. All research articles must reference at least three sources. Submissions may be broken in multiple parts.
Deadline for articles to go in the May newsletter will be the 15th of April.
The Members Meeting for Clann Tartan was held on February 26th, 2011. Present were President Julie Yoder, Vice President Karen Bastien, Secretary Mia McDavid, Treasurer Bruce Yoder, Quartermaster David Vavreck, Camp Rep Laura Swenson, and members Glenn McDavid, Sarah Shaftman, Mary McKinley, Patty Brenycz Simondet, John Debnam, Laurie Ford, Margaret Kirkpatrick, Ann Peters, Eric Ferguson, Tamaye Ceannadeach, and Jessica Swenson.
The Minutes for the last Board meeting were taken by Margaret Kirkpatrick and were passed as amended.
The President thanked the Vice President for her recruiting brainstorming session. Ideas arising from this are: make up posters, flyers, and business cards; post at American Legions and VFWs, at libraries, and community centers. Mary will print business cards. We have a paper master for the recruiting flyer. We discussed logistics for design and for posting.
We will have an ad on Craigslist; Bruce will monitor this.
John Debnam reports that Renaissance Festival is shrinking its cast and there may be cast members at loose ends who would like to continue working in living history.
Karen is looking into the pledge drive for public television as a way for us to get exposure. We could show up in costume to answer phones; they might interview us and talk about us on the air.
We are going to post recruiting ads in Smoke and Fire and in Powderhorn.
The Treasurer reported that, with ten months of Fiscal 2010 done we have a deficit of about $600, which is under projections. However, we have committed money to the cannon, so when that is paid our funds will go down substantially.
The Secretary had nothing to report.
The Quartermaster reports that the musket is still at O'Duggan's for repair.
Camp Rep; nothing to report.
Company Rep absent.
Music has had light attendance. Dance continues; Fiber has had no activity. Sword: Glenn is waiting for a warmer shop to modify the practice swords. The Garden Guild is asleep for the winter, but Laurie Ford reports that she is planting oats and will be hosting a hand reaping and threshing this summer.
Eric Ferguson had inquired why people don't come to Drill and reported the answers he received: Responses were along the lines of: It's at a bad time; It's too far to go. We decided to go for just a few intensive days of work to make it worthwhile for people to schedule and travel. We also decided to make sure to drill the men at shows; they are there anyway and it's another chance to show our military might.
The members discussed the issue and directed the Staff to start planning for several mini-musters and also a major muster.
The HCF needs to send out response requests for Moorhead and Woodville.
We need to book Tartan Day; April 9 at 3:00 PM. (ED note: This has since changed to the 10th!)
Mia is to approach White Oak for a contract; August 6-8.
The May members' meeting is May 21 at 1:00 at Lake Hiawatha Center.
David is to check in with the Winona Shakespeare Festival.
Mia is to solidify things with Fort William.
David says we are going to do a trek.
We will do the recruiting party at Convergence again; we also looked at putting an ad in the program book; this is not expensive.
Mary requested that members consider where we, as Clann Tartan, are going. We are running at a deficit every year due to decline in membership and in paying shows. We can't keep this up past another year by Bruce's estimate.
She suggested that if we don't have a huge swell in membership, that we revisit this at the Members Meeting in November and consider disbanding as the few of us who try to be active aren't enough.
David agreed to be quartermaster again. Karen will be VP. Mia did decide to be secretary as Glenn has volunteered to do all the internet stuff that she hates. If Anthea does not want to be rep John Debnam said he would do it.
The Treasurer explained the budget. Mary asked for a larger printing budget on account of business cards and so forth; we set it to $100. David requested a budget for lumber for the historic site village; Gaffneyis historic site got $200. Mia suggested that we might need a larger budget for gas reimbursements as gas prices will be high this summer; we went to $500.
Our Calendar is crowded. We removed Fiber Guild and Recorder Consort from the regular rota of meetings as the first has been dead and the second very lightly attended.
Respectfully Submitted
Mia McDavid
Secretary
Apparently this had been scheduled for Saturday, April 9, but the organizers have had to look for a new date. Eric is keeping in touch and will let us know how that turns out.
Laura agreed to get Sarah a list of the tasks that need to be accomplished to make the event happen. We are still waiting for that. Sarah will check with Laura.
This will be just a one day event. We will have have public hours on Friday afternoon from when school lets out until 6 PM. There will still be enough daylight after that for teardown so members can come home that night. Because the school day starts early, we will need to set up on Thursday.
We need to come up with three questions that the students are to answer for each demo. Hopefully we can find last year's questions.
Since this is a rather small show, we can get by without the trailer.
We will need the trailer for this show. Sarah will ask Marty about haulage.
The waulking is a big draw, but we will not have Katherine Grant to lead the songs. Glenn suggested another possible leader and will contact her about this. If we do it, we will need to have some fabric for waulking. We will not have anything freshly woven, but Rich and David both have fabric that could be used.
It looks like this will be a 2-day event in 2011. It is a long drive, so attendees will need to take Friday and Monday off as well. We will look into renting a van, like we did for Twig a few years ago. If this proves to be too expensive or otherwise impractical, we will use individual vehicles like we did last year.
Captain: Absent. The Lieutenant had no information on the new wooden mocket muskets and kiddy pikes. He did report that real matchlocks can be purchased from Middlesex Village Trading Companie for $625 each.
HCF: Nothing new.
Clothing: Bodices or cut hose. At Yoders'. There was some sense that the members are more interested in the basics, e.g. bodices. We could have a general session on refurbishing clothing. We might also have a clothing exchange. Sarah will contact Julie about what she would like to host.
Library. Also presentation/discussion on writing a character (muster requirement). At Margaret's. We can do basic musket drill (all the motions of loading) in her back yard, but we obviously cannot fire the weapons there.
We will tentatively plan for the 2nd weekend in June, since Twig is not happening this year.
Since this is something new, we would like a new location. Rich suggested a park near his house, and said he would check with the local authorities about what we need to do. There is a restaurant nearby so we could have dinner afterwards. Alternatively, if there is a fire pit, we could cook dinner at the site. Hopefully we can use a shelter there in case of rain, and for indoor-type activities. If not, we might be able to set up a tent.
Military drill will be about pikes and marching. We might also, depending on available instructors, have a sword drill. No actual firing of muskets until we can work out the legalities.
Muster requirements we could work on:
Other possible activities:
Whatever we do will depend on who we have as instructors.
7 PM. April 7, 2011. Location: Margaret's house.

We have a yahoo groups email list for the guild that we use for reminders about the meetings and topical discussions. If you want to be on the email list, request an invitation to join from Bruce at bruceyoder at juno dot com.
Drill will be on the fourth Saturday of March and April. After that, we will be replacing the current monthly camp and company drills by "mini-musters". Watch this space and the members' list.
12 NOON Military drill, for soldiers and campfollowers alike, Minnehaha Parkway green, 12th Av S at Minnehaha Parkway.
1 PM Camp Drill, work on projects and discussions of relevant topics.
Johndezvous is Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-30.
Johndezvous is a Gaffneyis event where we gather at the O'Duggan household to have fun making stuff. The goal of Johndezvous is to have a low-key but productive weekend, spiffing up our camp by making ourselves period correct equipment from wood or iron.
John's workshop has both woodworking and blacksmithing equipment. The address is 20628 Whistle Pass Drive, Lewiston MN, between Rochester and Winona.
The list of period wood projects for which we have plans includes:
It would be best to show up Friday with your wood already purchased in order to fully make use of work time Saturday through Monday.
If you would like to see any of the plans before deciding on a particular project, David can bring them to upcoming dance, drill, staff and board meetings and such, or you can make an appointment to drop by his house to take a look.
If you have a woodworking project in mind, but no plans, give David a call or email, and he'll see what he can find. Obviously, the sooner you do this, the more time he'll have to research for you.
John will be there to help with the forge, and David will be there to help with woodworking. And John will be there to help when David is stumped.
There is also opportunity for archery practice, musket shooting, hand ax throwing, candlemaking, and such like. Or you can knit, stitch, or what have you.
The good Colonel has seen fit to feed us; just like any other event, we will need your RSVP to make sure we have enough food.
Oh - and did I mention the movie? We will project a period movie or two (to be decided) on the side of a tent. Just for fun.
Have fun — Make stuff! Please send your RSVP to the Staff.
See you there!
Thanks to everyone who replied to Eric's e-mail earlier this year asking members who did not attend the monthly military drill for their reasons. At the February 2011 membership meeting, he presented the results and proposed solutions. For the coming year, the membership chose to replace monthly drill (company and camp) by a series of "mini-musters" around town. We'll meet for half a day or a day, work on military drill plus several other items on the muster list, and celebrate with a meal together.
Pending inquiries at parks in the northern suburbs, we are looking to hold the first of these on Saturday, June 11 (since the Old World Renaissance Festival at Twig, Minnesota, will not be happening at all this year). Please reserve the date if you can, and be sure to let the staff know if there's anything in particular you wish to see taught.
At the member's meeting on February 26th, the members present approved the following budget for the next fiscal year, April 2011 through March 2012.
Revenue: $5200 from eight shows, $715 dues and other for a total of $5915.
Expenses: $1670 for trailer expenses, $380 for communications, $300 for misc corporate expense, $1500 for property and liability insurance, $357 for Camp expense, $630 for Company expense, $200 for DunGowan expense, and $2956 for member expense of food and gas reimbursement. Total expense of $7993.
Projected deficit is $2078. Cash on hand is projected to be $5318 at the beginning of the year and $3240 at the end of the year.
The catalogue Sarah inherited from the Fergusons was more than complete: it included items that had been borrowed by parties known or unknown. The latter are listed below. If you have any information on their whereabouts, would you be kind enough to let the staff know? Thanks!

Hello all,
The following is a list of the dates of the events that are currently on the schedule for this year. The staff has met and decided to keep this running list of events in the newsletter to give you a chance to get an idea of what is going on this season as well as keep you updated to changes in the schedule.
The column titled status will include the following information.
Tentative- this means that an event organizer or Clann has expressed a strong enough interest in doing this event that it warrants reserving space on the calendar for the event.
Pending- this is the next stage of an event. This means that the Contracts Administrator has entered serious discussion about Clann doing an event but we are still not committed to the event. You should however if possible think about whether or not you may be able to attend this event.
Scheduled- this level means that the board and staff have approve the event and we are committed to providing manpower to making the event happen. When an event is assigned this level please let the HCF know as soon as possible if you can or can not attend this event.
Canceled- This means that for various reasons an scheduled event has been removed from the current season. We will try and give as much notice as we can prior to canceling an event.
If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact staff regarding this matter
Thanks,
Your Staff
