We need a banner
The Chief
Has asked us to design a banner for the Gathering. Something that will represent the four Nations that go to make up Clan Hunter UK.
I think that this is a great idea and an opportunity to create a real piece of clan heraldry.
Could you design a true heraldic Hunter banner? Why not give it a go ?
There is no prizes to be won, only the satisfaction of seeing your effort displayed.
We are lucky to have an Artist Serving on the council. William Hunter of West Kilbride, the same man who designed and made the honours board. Bill will be asked to cast a critical eye over the whole proceedings.
The chosen design will be of the highest standard, and will be made of the best quality material afforded by the clan council please send all your ideas to the Hunter's Tryst. Address on back page.
