Would those interested in taking up admin of the site make themselves
known here, so that collectively a decision on that front can be made?

On the basis that any significant decisions would be handled via doodle poll or
similar, I'm happy to handle the admin behind it.

I also like the idea of getting the relevant website bits onto github, if they
aren't already.

In short, I'm up for it so long as it's minimal work.

ps. Rory -- hope you are well, long time, etc ... and fwiw, thanks for handling
this thus far :)

Thanks very much for volunteering.  Pretty much anyone who's willing
to do the work gets my vote. :-)

Yes, that sounds like a great idea ? reduce the friction for people to
tweak things that they think could be improved.

> In short, I'm up for it so long as it's minimal work.

Understandable; I've got pretty much the same view.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to plan for a time-limited term, as it
were.  Maybe sign up to do the work for a year at a time, with the
expectation that it'll be someone else's turn after that?  I'd be
happy to take a website rotation, too.

Absolutely, huge thanks for the work you've done, Rory.

This is rather off-topic but I know a few people on this list are
climbers. I can't make it to the meeting this week otherwise I would
have asked around at that point.

I'm looking to do the induction course at the climbing wall in the
Pleasance but they don't get many people interested in signing up at
this time of year so I am lacking a second person. Does anyone who is
already a CSE member and has done the induction fancy coming along and
doing some belaying for me? I'd happily pay your entry fee if you
don't have a climbing membership.

Please reply to me off the list.

Cheers,

This is next week. All my evenings are currently free so any night  
would be good.

As I'm staying at Ten Hill Place and working in the Edinburgh  
University Informatics Forum, I wondered if anyone fancied somewhere a  
bit more Old-Towny than usual.

Ah, good ? I was meaning to drop you a line to confirm your plans.

I'm going to selfishly suggest Tuesday, on the grounds that it works

Anyone else?  Other suggestions?

I like the Guildford Arms well enough as a bar, but the food
arrangements aren't very convenient.  Maybe Bert's Bar, in the West
End?  I think we've had a heretics meeting there before now.

http://www.bertsbar.co.uk/berts-bar/home/berts-bar-edinburgh.html

I actually prefer Teuchters, directly across the road from Bert's, but
I don't think Teuchters serves food.  But I suppose there's the option
of decamping from one to the other at some point.

Edinburgh.py use Bert's/Teuchters as their regular meeting spot(s), 
suggesting that it's a feasible setup.

I'm planning to come along, though may not make it for 6.30.

Never been there, but I'd be happy to give it a go.

Their website's here, including food menu:

We could decide by Doodle poll, or I'm happy to go to any of the
suggested places.

Last time I went, Holyrood 9a was okay, served food, ale, and was reasonably
sizable, I think.  Not too far from Waverley should that be required.

 http://www.list.co.uk/place/103625-the-holyrood-9a/

Closer to Waverley, out of the way, but smaller:

 http://www.list.co.uk/place/103312-the-halfway-house/


Barony Bar, Cask and Barrel, might be contenders, but it's been a while.

And there's Doctors, if we can stray further from rail links (not my fave but
does food and ale and is sizable.)

Yeah, I do like the 9A ? much better than that place ever was as the
Holyrood Tavern.  Not sure if you've seen my other mail, but I'm
suggesting it as the place to meet Dave when he's in town next week.

The Cask and Barrel is nice enough, but doesn't do food afaik.  The
Barony serves food, but it's fairly small, and usually mobbed in the
early evenings, so booking would probably be vital.

I'd be OK with either, though, if that's the consensus.  At least you
didn't suggest the Phoenix across the road. :-)

Yeah, not my fave either, though it is conveniently located, at least
from my point of view.  And only about 11 minutes' brisk walk from the
westbound platforms at Waverley.

Doctors can get crowded in the evenings too.

Right, line in the sand: Teuchters.  6.30 onwards, tonight.

    26 William Street, EH3 7NH
    Dinner 5.30-10

    http://www.aroomin.co.uk/slider/teuchters/
    26 William street, EH3 7NH

my nextdoor neighbour also works behind the bar on occassion.  Not that this
matters much to anyone here.

I will see if I can reserve a table later, will confirm if I succeed.  I
believe the food is downstairs and the beer is upstairs, but I'm sure we can
figure something out.

I figured lets leave 9a for when Dave is here, and broaden our horizons by 1+
pub.  If anyone feels strongly otherwise, I propose you doodle poll before 3pm.
Else see you in Teuchters.

Upstairs, bar "snack" / "lite" food.  No need to book.

Downstairs, proper meals.  Sounds like if you're not too fussed about exactly
when, there shouldn't be too much trouble getting a table downstairs if people
want to eat there.  Anyone who needs to eat at a specific time, may want to
call and book themselves ;)

Do we have a kickoff time for Tuesday's emergency meeting yet? I'm 
wondering if we have time for a quick meeting of Climbers.pm beforehand...

I'm planning to get there some time between 6:30 and 7:00. But I've got 
nowhere else to go that evening, so I'm planning to be there for a while.

Walked past the pub earlier this evening and realised that Gill and I 
spent a very pleasant hour or so in there last summer.

Cheers,

Dave...
