Ceilidh in Aid of the Woodland Trust 21/01/16

We had our annual Ceilidh in aid of Woodland Trust in the Teviot debating Halls with the folksoc band playing some tunes and calling the dances. There was some amazing dancing (see below) and a raffle of goodies from local Edinburgh stores.

Thanks to Martha for the video.

We managed to raise just over £500!!! Which is amazing and will help the Woodland Trust plant native woodlands in the Pentland hills, we’ll be able to tell our grandkids that you did The Gay Gordons for them oaks.

Hoodies have arrived

Brand new society hoodies have been airdropped at the Dirties’ Flat.

The mainly bottle green (conservationists like green, who knew?) hoodies with a smattering of other colours feature the unique artistry of Nina, former projects person – future bothy person. Take a look and think long and hard about why you didn’t buy one (unless you did then well done).

Easter Special

A fortnight ago Rosie and Rachel organised an egg hunt around Arthur’s Seat. They used easter as an excuse, but really it was all about the chocolate. Here is what Rosie had to write about the day:

“Rosie and Rachel put on a smashing great show. Starting in the morning with egg painting wonderful designs were to behold upon many a shell. Some keenly then went on to hunt eggs while others chose breakfast (at about 2pm? We’ll call it brunch). Finally when all of the Easter Bunny’s leavings had been found (without any sort of assistance ever), we rolled. It was epic. The eggs turned fast and chaotic. No one really knew which was theirs untill they found the remains. And yet, two had not completely smashed. And so what choice was there? But to ROLL AGAIN. The smaller egg one. A few went for a walk. Then pub. Then home. Happy Easter.”
