Edinburgh University Conservation Society
We had a great turnout for our ceilidh on the 28th January. We were joined by some of the Edinburgh University Folk Society (FolkSoc) ceilidh band, who helped us to have a great night.
Here are some photos from the night (courtesy of John Godlee):
Thanks to our socials organizers (Rosie & Rachel), the Folk Soc, all those who donated items for the raffle and everyone that could make it along. Sláinte!
The Dirty Weekenders will be hosting an event for the University’s Innovative Learning week on Wednesday February 19th. This is ideal for anyone new to conservation work, who wants to have fun outdoors.
We will be travelling to local nature reserve ‘Beeslack Wood‘ to assist the Woodland Trust ranger in the upkeep of the site.
If you’d like to join us, then you can sign up here. All students and staff are welcome. We’ll meet at 10am at the CSE – don’t forget to bring drinking water, good footwear, and waterproofs.
Please, If you sign up and cannot go, send us an e-mail so that someone else can take the place.
First of all, thanks to everyone that joined us for the ceilidh on Tuesday, it was a great success. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and there were no trips to the hospital! If you have photos from the ceilidh you can email them to us or post them on our Facebook page. Expect a post on it soon.
Now, onto this weekend:
This Sunday we’re doing a project together with Spokes who are a cycling campaign group in Edinburgh, who among other things help maintain paths in and around Edinburgh. We’ll be helping them clear some muddy paths in Morningside.
Due to the location of this project and the bus we need to catch we’ll be meeting at the tool cupboard at 10:15am – 15 minutes after our usual start time. We should be back at the tool cupboard and going to the pub at roughly the same time as usual.
Boots or wellies are a must for this – you have been warned!
Pub meeting at 9pm tonight as usual
