Edinburgh Social Group Pub Night - Wednesday

Edinburgh Social Group now meets on two nights in the month; First Tuesday and Third Wednesday of every month, both meetings in Milne's Bar, Rose Street. Look for the OUSA notice on the table - or ask the Bar Staff.  The table is booked from 5.30pm; some of our members come straight from work and have their evening meal in Milne's (it's good bar nosh, and not too expensive; they are happy to serve tea and coffee, or even tap water - that's free - in addition to stronger beverages). The meetings usually keep going until the last member leaves!

If you are an OU Student you are, automatically, an OUSA member. You will be made welcome at either or both meetings, as will any carer, facillitator or best buddy should you wish, or require, assistance or company to and from the meetings. Milne's is an easily accessible pub, that's why it was chosen, but not all of our meetings are held there. Sometimes we go on academic outings, usually there is some kind of hostelry in close proximity to the venue (em, we're students, right?). We've been to the cinema for relevant-to-course films, we've been to castles, the Falkirk Wheel, even CAMRA festivals; suggestions for outings are always welcome, even more welcome is when the suggestor also organises the outing - but we'll all pitch in to help. The only stipulation is the event(s) should be accessible to as many students as want to attend.

If you want further details about OUSA meetings in the Edinburgh Area please e-mail kittyjohnstone@yahoo.com or look for us on Facebook, but neither is mandatory. You just have turn up.
