GLECA is twenty years old this year so we're throwing a party!

If you've ever been a GLECAn, we want to see you - whether it's been fifteen years or fifteen minutes since we last met. If you can't make it, we still want to hear from you! RSVP here https://forms.office.com/r/WN5TyYxXPA and you can upload a video message to be played at the party.

We're spreading the celebrations over two events:

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY - SATURDAY 10th May
The Last Jar
616 Elizabeth Street,
Melbourne, VIC
7pm-late
Speeches and presentations at 9
Finger food provided

THE SWORDS DAY - SUNDAY 11th May
An afternoon of free bouting, skill share, and general swordy fun times. Bring your gear, bring your weapons, let's have a bash.
The Drill Hall
51-57 Victoria St,
Melbourne, VIC
12pm - 5pm

RSVP at https://forms.office.com/r/WN5TyYxXPA - you can also order a GLECA tshirt if you want one, and add something to our remake of the classic "What is GLECA" video.

Sword you later,
The Glen Lachlann Estate College of Arms.

It's that time of year again! The Melbourne Highland Games are on this Sunday 23rd of March in Croydon and we'll be there as always with a tournament, exhibition bouts, and come-and-try sessions. Forecast looks lovely for some swords!

The MHG&CF (previously known as Ringwood Highland Games Inc.) has been held in the Maroondah area for over 50 years, since April 1967. The festivals include pipe bands, dancing, heavy events, clans and stalls.
