Happy New Year to everyone -- tis that time of the month again.

Proposed tour venue this month, as suggested by Struan Donald:

    Thurs 23rd Jan 2014

    Kenilworth

    http://www.nicholsonspubs.co.uk/thekenilworthrosestreetedinburgh/

    152-154 Rose Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3JD

    https://www.google.com/maps/?q=152-154+Rose+Street%2C+EH2+3JD

I've booked a table in my name for 6.30 - 7.00.  I sadly have a prior
engagement at the theatre that night, but depending on when that finishes will
try and pop in towards the end of the evening.

If nobody is likely to be there until after 7, let me (or the bar) know, as
it's possible they may not hold the table if they think we're a no-show.

fyi: they serve food.

Murray.

ps. if anyone reckon's they'll be there by 6.30, I'd squeeze in a swift 'arf
pre-show ... but I'm assuming not unless someone shouts.

Hi Murry,

I don't think I will make it before 7pm.  However, I will be there.

I've got family visiting, so will have to pass this month (and will be away
for next week's Heretics meeting). However, I'd like to propose the Mash
Tun on Easter Road for February's meet.

Pub called.  Chef's not well.  New chef on route.

Sadly, food will not be available until after 7pm.

+1 for calling their existing bookings to keep them informed.

Message-ID: <20140126175011.GQ15378@mooker.vm.bytemark.co.uk>

Based on previous suggestions & last thurs meeting, I propose the following:

Thur 30th January : Heretics.  I gather Miles is busy, so begging his
forgiveness, the suggestion is:

    http://www.tilesbar.co.uk/ (as suggested by Andrew)
    The south-east corner of St Andrew's Square, just off Princes Street.

    https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=214378835859986492836.0004ad3eced2bacaa33da&ie=UTF8&t=h&vpsrc=0&ll=55.953777,-3.192022&spn=0,0&source=embed&dg=feature

    I've reserved a table from ~18:30 in my name.  They serve food.

---


Thur 27th February : Tour venue #4.

    http://www.mashtunedinburgh.co.uk/ (as suggested by Miles)
    154 Easter Road

    https://www.google.com/maps/preview?q=154+Easter+Road,+EH7+5RL

    I've not reserved anything yet, but provided I don't forget, will do so
    prior.  They serve food.

This is further outside the centre than I think we're ideally looking for
as a regular venue, but given we're on tour, seems like a chance to try
somewhere different!

---

... and I know this is waaay in advance, but thought it might be worth an early
heads up ...

It had previouslly been suggested we might try St Andrews one month.  How about
March?  Thur 27th March is the date for your calendars.

Venue TBD.  I believe the local train station is Leuchars.

Edi -> Leuchars
    17:35 -> 18:33
    18:00 -> 19:10
    18:11 -> 19:22
    18:33 -> 19:37
    19:00 -> 20:02

Leuchars -> Edi
    21:32 -> 22:52
    22:29 -> 23:49
    22:56 -> 00:05

According to nationalrail.co.uk, a std off-peak return is ?17.10 or ?20.40
depending on which train we get.  Perhaps those with local knowledge might know
of better deals?  Those prices *might* involve advance booking?

I called St Andrews Taxi (01334 477272).  They quoted ?100 one-way from St
Andrews to Princes St in Edinburgh departing St Andrews at 23:30, for a six
seater taxi.

So it doesn't look like a Taxi would be cheaper, tho if there were enough
people willing to pay the extra it might be easier?  I suggest we discuss at
Heretics & in Feb and see what people think.

Anyway -- that's the suggestion(s) ... anyone interested?  Or have better
ideas?

Anyone from St Andrews likely to be around on March 27th?

Edwin, any suggestions for a venue? And/or thoughts on travel arrangements?

I expect I'll be around that week. The Central does very good beer (it's current Fife CAMRA pub of the year) and, well, edible food :). I don't think we can book a table though and it does tend to get busy. This is unlikely to be a problem if you arrive early enough.

Best to get the train to Leuchars and the bus from there. The buses don't run so often in the evening but if there's enough of you sharing a taxi it might not be too excessive (it's around ?15, bus is ?4.95 return for comparison).

Edwin.
