I'm happy with Calton Hill, but if people think that sounds too windy/energetic/whatever, Princes Street Gardens or the Meadows would be other options. -- Aaron Crane From fenn at sdf-eu.org Fri Jun 16 03:09:50 2006 From: fenn at sdf-eu.org (Planet Fenn) Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 10:09:50 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [Edinburgh-pm] Alternative for next months meeting?

How about in two or three weeks, say 28 June or 5 July? 28th June is just about doable for me, but I wouldn't be able to stay long -- I'm heading down south for the UKUUG Linux Conference very early on Thursday 29th. 5th July is better for me, if that's OK with everyone else. > I'm partial to Calton Hill Sounds like there's consensus on that. -- Aaron Crane From robrwo at gmail.com Sun Jun 18 05:54:32 2006 From: robrwo at gmail.com (Robert Rothenberg) Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2006 13:54:32 +0100 Subject: [Edinburgh-pm] Alternative for next months meeting?

I just realised that 5 July is bad for me--- I'll be in Swansea. >> I'm partial to Calton Hill > > Sounds like there's consensus on that. So around 7.30ish Wed 28 June, Calton Hill (on the field overlooking the Salisbury Crags)?

See http://tinyurl.com/prpbp for an aproximate map. The weather report doesn't predict rain, but as a (somewhat) nearby alternative, we could fallback to the Guilford Arms. Bring your own beverages and picnic foods. Probably picnic-style plastic cups, plates, etc. Some minimal organising of why brings what is in order.

The weather still looks (sufficiently) fine, which is promising. I think we have at least five definite attendees, but the more the merrier, so I hope everyone can make it. Naturally, partners, spouses, housemates, friends are all welcome. > Bring your own beverages and picnic foods.
