At least one meeting, the Annual General Meeting, is held each year. Other events are organised from time to time according to interest. In past years the Clan has sponored a BYO Picnic-In-The-Park at a site decided by the A.G.M. of the previous year. To date picnics have been held at Toowoomba, Ipswich, Pittsworth, Purga, Redbank, Gympie and Brisbane. Recently Clan gatherings have been held indoors at the Irish Club in Brisbane. Details of all meetings and events are announced in the newsletter and on the website.

Once a year, at the Annual General Meeting we make a donation - according to our means - to a charity nominated by a member and endorsed by the meeting. This donation has been in the vicinity of $50, which may seem a bit light, but is in keeping with our income.

Members will be able to create their own web pages that can either be made available for public viewing or accessible by members only. Members may choose to use this facility for biographical, genealogical or historical information related to their family history research. The web page creation facility will be available from the members area which is accessed via the 'Members Login' at the top of this page. Pages that members elect to make available to the general public can be selected via the 'Web Pages' link, under the members option in the main menu.
