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.
