The Club were invited to join hosts London Camanachd, Scots Camanachd (see The Scots Shinty Club) and Cornwall Shinty Club at the inaugural London Shinty festival, on Saturday 22 September. The club did not manage to field a team. The club has received some interest but is struggling to get equipment. A kind donation from Glenurquhart Shinty Club and DCR Sports of 12 shinty balls has helped, and the club are in discussions to get more funding and equipment from other sources. The club is going to trial satellite teams in local schools, hopefully this will help create a stable base for the club in the area.
