Tartans of the Clan. "There is a hunting tartan which has a brown ground and is usually worn during the day, and dress Fraser has a red ground, and is for evening wear. Hunting Fraser may be worn in the evening for informal occasions, but it is usual to wear dress Fraser during the day. There are various versions of these, but rarer versions are not commonly obtainable, so no one need worry unduly when buying tartan".(from Clan Fraser by Flora Marjory Fraser) News from Tasmania The Tasmanian branch is not a large group so we do not have many meetings. We have a couple of functions a year. On the last Saturday of February we have a barbacue at the Tail Race Park in Launceston which is a wonderful place to have one. Members of other branches would be welcome if you happen to be in Launceston at that time. We also have a stall at the Family and History Faire at Westbury in September. The only meeting is the Annual General Meeting. You can see we are not a busy organisation but we do have a lot of fun when we meet.
