I guess I can find four or five interested guys to begin with.

I'm looking for ideas on how to organise it.

Do you advertise?
Do you take a name for the group?
Do you have live music? (or make your own)?
What is your format?
Do you have particular discussions about kilting, or is it just an informal get together?

Any advice appreciated
1.Yes advertise. We in Vancouver are trying to get the pub, where we hold our kilts night, to take more of an interest, and advertise for us. Graham, you have the perfect forum......your own Celtic radio show.
2. Yes make a name for your group. Ours is Men in Kilts.......feel free to use it as it is universal
3. Live music........a must. One of the best things about kiltsnight, is the bands that play in the pub. We have a resident piper that always does a few numbers, and a live Celtic band. Our pub is an Atlanic Canadaian stlye, with lots of Celtic influence. There are always patrons playing the spoons, or a bodhran, etc.
4. Format? Maybe Bear can be of more on this question. I would only suggest getting a sponsor (beer company, radio station(?), etc..)
5 No, we don't have any formal kilt discussions. We have men in Bear Kilts, Utilikilts, Tradional wool kilts, homemade kilts, and sometimes even men in kilted skirts (it wasn't his fault, really, he thought it was a man's kilt). No formalities at our nights. You don't even have to be kilted, but you will be sooner or later. Just have fun.

Good luck Graham and any of you that may be looking to set up a kilts night. Again, the people to talk to about this may be Bear, and Vince Hemingson the organizor of our kilts night.
