England & Wales Branch of the
Clan Macpherson Association

Welcome to the pages of the England and Wales Branch of the Clan Macpherson Association. All Association members resident throughout England and Wales are automatically members of the branch. We are also pleased to enjoy the support of Macphersons and non-Macphersons from across the world.

We aim to communicate with England and Wales branch members through email, although we keep a list of members who prefer communications through the post. Please let us know (contact our secretary Bill T Macpherson ) of your address and preference for communication.

The Ball The highlight of the Branch's year is the Macpherson London Ball, which was held this year at the Caledonian Club in Belgravia on Friday, 4th November (see our 'News & Events' page). We try to keep ticket prices as low as possible and this is always a fabulous event and well worth a trip to London!

2022 AGM & outing

Our AGM is held in the autumn and usually linked to a social gathering. This year we visited the newly re-developed Battersea Power Station, where we enjoyed a tour and exhibition about the redevelopment of this iconic building. This was followed by and our AGM in a local restaurant.

Although we met 'on screen' for our 2020 and 2021 AGMs, our previous 'in person' AGM was in 2019 and was combined with a congenial lunch at the Ognisko Restuarant in Kensington. We enjoyed an excellent Polish meal before moving on to the branch business, fortified with shots of Polish vodka! (See our News & Events page.) We try to keep these meetings business-light and social-heavy, so link them to an event or visit.

Past visits, usually with a Clan link, have included a Scottish Gin Tasting, a 'backstage tour' of the All England Tennis & Croquet Club in Wimbledon, a trip down the Regency Canal, followed by a pub supper and a tour of Westminster Abbey which included a visit to the grave of James Macpherson of 'Ossian' fame.

The challenge of holding events accessible to the largest number of members across England and Wales inevitably means that meetings are in the London area but we are always happy to consider arranging something elsewhere if sufficient members are interested. Please let us know if you have ideas.
