Mike,

Welcome to the forum!

It sounds as if you are already heavily in kiltdom, and after checking out your website, I see that you are fitting in well here, even after such a brief time. I do think that your site is awesome.

Again Mike, welcome!

I agree... That is a great website! You have some wonderful images and symbols there that would make some terrific tee-shirts.

BTW, How did you find your way here? Hope you enjoy the group here.

welcome Mike, you have a very interesting website, and I'm happy to see Australia and NZ represented.

You certainly seem to have MY kind or organisation going.
I particulary like the openess and honesty of the site in declaring who i involved, complete with a bio and pictures. well done!

You you have anyone in Australia that i can make contact with?

Enjoy the board, I'm sure several here will be willing to join you, I for one.

Just looking at the "mission" of NWC, one sentence reads:

To support all Celtic cultural non-political, non-religious, non-racist organizations that espouse the same high ideals as ours, regardless of whether they are Scot, Irish, Galician, Manx, Welsh, Breton, or Cornish.

non-political, non-religious celts? that's a big ask, where do you find them?

Most of the early celtic world was either pagan or Christian.
Many celts were involved in wars, which are often political.
Or have I missed something?

Fellow Celts!!! thanks for the warm response!!! love to hear about Kilters all about, and especially those in OZ and NZ....Living in Dunedin, Fl, we are very aware of our Bros down in Dunedin NZ....everyone please check out the NWC site at www.newworldcelts.org .... and let me know how we can help you in any way...mike

PS Graham...aye it was just because of the Celtic propensity to argue and fight over religion/politics that we wrote our by-laws to prevent official endorsment of any one viewpoint....but that sure as hell does nae stop them from talking about it!!!, 'specially after the first few pints!!! hell, These ARE Celts!!! great to meet not only fellow Gaels, but also Bretons, and Galicians from both Spain and Turkey and those dragon-riding Welsh....We formed a few years ago, and are represented well in Florida, Wisconsin, and soon Atlanta and Charlotte....and possibly soon in Denver (Parker)...take care all, mike

Mike, are you saying that celts like to argue about politics and religion???

who ever heard of such a thing!

I should boast here of the wonderful host we have in Hank, who has managed to keep this site polite and civil. That's why it's the most popular and visited kilt site on earth!

As I said in an email, may I suggest you add the facility to join your group online?
