Wed 24 Feb
7.00pm (Note earlier time!) Annual General Meeting. An opportunity to come and join, new members welcome. Formal business will be followed with a presentation. We welcome back Dr Graeme Cruickshank, writer, traveller, and local history expert, who has entertained us on two previous occasions, in 1998 and 2002. On this return visit, he will deliver an illustrated talk entitled `A Capital Story: Edinburgh's history in a nutshell'.

Wed 24 March
We're delighted to host a talk by Joanne Lamb on `Dalrymple Crescent: A snapshot of Victorian Edinburgh'. When she moved into her house in Dalrymple Crescent, a comment in the schedule set Joanne off investigating the history of the house-and eventually the lives of the people of the whole street. They illustrate aspects of Victorian Scotland: family life, health, commerce, education and migration. The talk focusses on the links between the Crescent and the Grange more widely, and the research behind it builds on Joanne's invaluable experience working at a research centre in the University.

Sat early May
Our Annual bring and buy Plant Sale will likely be held in the early afternoon, in the large hall at Marchmont St Giles Church Hall, entered by the door to the south of the main church. The Spring Newsletter, confirming details of date and time, will be distributed in April.
