Detailed events programme
For all events it is better to book beforehand by emailing either Alexandra or Emma, social convenors giving your contact details, this way you can be updated if there is a change in arrangements. But, if you are not sure what you're doing until the last minute, for most events it is possible to just turn up. Updates on social events are sometimes circulated on LCV News, our online newsgroup
Thurs 17 December German Market and the Big Wheel
Join LCV at the German Market on Princes Street for a wander around the market stalls followed by some gluhwein, perhaps some ice skating and if you are feeling brave, a ride on the Big Wheel. Meet at 7 p. m. by the Scott Monument. Please let Alexandra know you are coming - contact details in the LCV web site Contact Us section - so that she can look out for you. It should be a lovely night - the more the merrier!
Sun 20 December Mulled Wine and Mince Pies
From 8 p. m. meet in Sarah McConachie's flat for mulled wine and mince pies. Please bring along a festive contribution and let us know you are coming - contact Emma or Alexandra - contact details in the LCV web site Contact Us section.
Sat 2 January Pantomime - Peter Pan at the Lyceum
Join LCV for panto fun to see Peter Pan at the Lyceum Theatre. Tickets £17.50 (Upper Circle). We purchased tickets at the beginning of December for this event to ensure that we would get seats together. If you would like to come but missed the earlier deadline then you could buy your tickets independently and meet up with us on the night. Let us know if you intend to do this so that we know to look out for you. The panto starts at 7 p.m. so we will meet at 6.15 p.m. in Espresso Mondo on Lothian Road.
Mon 1 Feb Pub Quiz at The Cumberland Bar
We intend to try out the pub quiz at the Cumberland Bar on Cumberland street in the New Town. Quiz starts at 8.30pm so meet in the bar between 7.30pm and 8pm. Drop Emma an email so we have an idea of team numbers.
Sat 27 March Party
There will be a small birthday party for Alexandra, further details to follow nearer the time.
Fri 2 April - Mon 5 April Easter Hillwalking trip
We will be leaving Edinburgh on the morning of Friday 2 April, travelling by minibus to Kinlochewe near Torridon in the North West Highlands. We will be staying at Kinlochewe Bunkhouse which we have sole use of. The accommodation is basic – bunk beds in a shared dorm but, there is heating and showers. You will need to bring a warm sleeping bag and towel in addition to warm, waterproof clothing and hiking boots. We will have some communal self catering meals (similar to residential tasks) and will eat at the adjacent hotel on one night. We plan to walk on the Saturday and Sunday and return to Edinburgh by 8pm on Monday 5 April.
Torridon is a spectacular mountain area with dramatic Munros like Beinn Alligan (mountain of beauty). There are also many smaller hills, nature trails and fine coastal scenery. You should be reasonably fit but it is likely there will be some options for walks.
Costs for the weekend will include a contribution to the travel costs (£12) accommodation (£36) communal food (approx £15) and money for a meal out, drinks and lunch e.g. at a cafe on the Friday and Monday (approx £50). A deposit of £20 secures your place.
If you want to come on the trip please contact Kenneth Humphreys.
Sat 24 April Pentlands Hillwalk
Walk from Flotterstone up and over the Kips, then back to Flotterstone. Meet at the bottom car park at Hillend (no 4 LRT bus) at 9.30 a.m. If you plan to come along, please let Emma know in advance - contact details in the LCV web site Contact Us section - so that she can co-ordinate lifts from Hillend to Flotterstone.
