New Venue!

After realising that several regulars can't make it on Wednesdays in the winter months, I've spent the last few days trying to find a new venue for us, so that we can continue to meet on the first Tuesday of the month (The Dalriada is closed on Tuesdays in the winter months - they were going to stay open for us on Tuesday in October but aren't anymore, so I think this is the right decision).

Our new venue from October is the Guilty Lily, on the corner of Bonnington Road and Pilrig Street in Leith. While I appreciate this venue may be more convenient for some, and less for others, it was the best venue I could find that would tick all the boxes, so I hope lots of people will be able to make it!

• it's open on Tuesdays (til 1am if you can knit for that long!)
• it serves tea, coffee and herbal teas all evening (hurrah!)
• it serves nice desserts if you're in the mood for knitting and pudding
• we can have a whole room to ourselves
• it has a mix of comfy leather sofas and tables/chairs, take your pick!
• it's wheelchair accessible
• dogs are allowed (can I put in a request for beautiful puppers Breck to make an appearance again please!)

So, I think this is going to work out nicely. The pub describes itself as "caught between the decadence of 1940’s burlesque and the comfort of your local watering hole, Guilty Lily welcomes you with subtle old fashioned class and seats you on some of the comfiest & squishiest sofas in Leith. Relaxed and pleasantly scruffy with an indulgent edge."

I really hope that lots of you can make it along in the coming months to try it out. If you've never been along before, please do join us! We're always delighted to welcome new faces, beginners or experts.
