Saturday 27 Sept
The Cockburn Association's Doors Open Day allows us to visit lots of interesting buildings; those nearby include University buildings, Marchmont St Giles and the new Whitehouse Lodge. Check out http://www.cockburnassociation.org.uk for lists, a neat Google Maps interface, and details of a new photo competition.

Wed 1 Oct
We're delighted to kick-off our season of talks with a presentation on Architectural Ironworks, by Ali Davey of Historic Scotland. This should be of special interest to residents who are considering renewal or replacement of their own railings.

Wed 5 Nov
We will explore microgeneration: sources of domestic scale renewable energy, such as solar panels or small wind generators; Nick Heath of Changeworks will lead the discussion on the efficiency and effects of the different options.

Tue 9 Dec
The Christmas Gathering will be held, as in previous years, at the German Church in Chalmers Crescent at 7.30pm. Enjoy an evening with friends old and new, stories, songs, wine and shortbread.

Wed 18 Feb 7.00pm
Annual General Meeting. An opportunity to come and join, new members welcome. Formal business will be followed with a presentation: we plan to focus on energy efficiency in traditional buildings; the speaker will be confirmed in the next newsletter.
