Cead Mile Failte "A Hundred thousand Welcomes"

This is the traditional welcome which I extend to you on behalf of the Thanet & District Caledonian Society. The website page is designed to give you a flavour of what we do in the Society in and around Thanet. Essentially we enjoy ourselves whether it is on the dance floor, eating haggis, playing bridge or chasing a golf ball. We also have occasional coach holidays to Scotland which are very popular. The idea is to have fun with like minded people and at the same time raise some money for national and local charities.

Our activities are very informal with the exception perhaps of our St. Andrew's Celebration Dinner and Burns’ Night held at the St Augustines Hotel Westgate where on these occasions you have the opportunity to dress up.

You do not need to have Scottish origins to belong, but rather the wish to join a Society made up of those with similar interests.

If you would like to join us or have any further questions please contact us here.

I look forward to meeting you at one of our many events.

Yours aye,

David Walker
President
