A year ago we were celebrating the completion of our Foundation Coaching Course, the first coaching course outside of the UK. It was such a success we were scheduling another course and refereeing workshop, but 2020 had other plans. Thank you to Zachary, Hector, Caib, Ben, and Connor for coming out and working to make our workshop successful. And Elheran, we miss you loads, so glad you were out with us that day!

The T-shirt made specially for our 2005 trip to play at the Blairgowrie Highland Games, and signed by various members of Northern California and Tayforth shinty clubs. #northerncaliforniacamanachd #shinty #shintybythebay #pleasantonblairgowriefergussistercityorganization #blairgowrie 
A bit of hijinks with Central California Camanachd at the Monterey Scottish Games a few years back... amazing where you’ll find Newtonmore Quarterly! #shinty #northerncaliforniacamanachd #newtonmorequarterly #centralcaliforniacamanachdclub 
A favorite image from the archives. Taken in 2012 during our annual New Year’s Day match. Part of this image was used on the memorial coin we produced in 2015 for participants in the shinty tournament at the 150th Pleasanton Scottish Games. Second from the left is Michael Kosman, in whose memory the Memorial Cup is played. #shinty #northerncaliforniacamanachd #traditionalsport 
The throw-up and pre-game procession at the 2003 Dixon Scottish Games, an event we have enjoyed many times during our two decades as a club. #shinty #norcalshinty #shintybythebay #dixonscottishgames 
A favorite candid photo, Bryan watches the drill during a 2003 training session. #shinty #shintybythebay #northerncaliforniacamanachd #coolkids 
A favorite image from our first 20 years, Warren Clifford talking a shot during our matches at the 2004 Livermore Scottish Games. Everyone liked the photo so much, it became one of our first t-shirts! #shinty #northerncaliforniacamanachd #mashingit 
Congratulations to Yuli and Alita on the occasion of their wedding, wishing you much happiness in the years ahead! So lovely to see shinty folk tying the knot. #shintybythebay #shinty #northerncaliforniacamanachd 
The three club founders a year and some before the NCC officially began. Elheran, Michael, and Karl hatching a plan at Michael’s West Coast wedding reception in 1999. #shintybythebay #shinty #northerncaliforniacamanachd
