Edinburgh meet up?

On a couple of other threads it seems like a few of us have recently moved to Edinburgh and fancied a meet up. Some longstanding Edinburghers also said they would be up for a pint/wine/dram/coffee and cake to say hi.

I said I would be happy to organise it when I got here if no one else wanted to and well, I am here! The bags are (sort of) unpacked, DS has started school, and my new job at uni starts soon.

Please post if you want to come for a meet!

I'd be up for it! I'm in West Lothian but DH works in town and DC go to school there so I'm in Edinburgh quite a bit and can easily get through at other times.

TheTurtleMoves · 10/09/2016 10:17

Just outside Edinburgh and game for this.

purplefox · 10/09/2016 15:35

I'd be interested.

Excellent! Let's see how many of us there are and where might be easiest for folks to get to. I am in SW Ed but happy to meet centrally if its easiest for others?

Just a quick shout out to other MNetters who said they would be interested in a meet on previous threads - Creativevoid, Alwaysinahurrynow, StaticallyChallenged, BrainlikeaSeive, Buttonface, DrSingleMum?

I'm interested!

TheTurtleMoves · 11/09/2016 13:26

I wonder if more folk might clock this thread if you got it moved to Chat OP? I know Scotsnet is the right section but it doesn't get as much traffic... (though quite happy being an elite selective bunch too Wink )

ocelot41 · 11/09/2016 14:35

Will try!

I'm new to Edinburgh and know no one.

Not a mum though....

ocelot41 · 11/09/2016 16:25

All welcome Mad!

I'm interested - wonder if I know anyone in rl?

StatisticallyChallenged · 11/09/2016 21:30

count me in

BearFoxBear · 11/09/2016 22:25

I'm in too!

MumsKnitter · 11/09/2016 22:34

I'm up for it!

prettybird · 11/09/2016 23:21

I might even make the trek over to Edinburgh (if the date is suitable) just to meet statisticallychallenged Wink

Not just for her bra advice, but she and I have come across each other (respectfully of course Wink) on a few of the political threads Grin

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 11/09/2016 23:26

Maybe I could come too, prettybird?

Do I need my passport to go over to Edinburgh? WinkGrin

Alwaysinahurrynow · 12/09/2016 08:06

Definitely up for it too, although currently 36 weeks pregnant. At least it'll make the group easy to find in a bar - how about something the week of 26th?

StatisticallyChallenged · 12/09/2016 10:56

HA pretty bird! Can we have a no indyref chat rule please?

StatisticallyChallenged · 12/09/2016 10:57

Week of 26th works for me. I'm in central Edinburgh

SciFiFan2015 · 12/09/2016 10:59

Maybe? I'm an introvert and this sort of things fills me with terror!

StatisticallyChallenged · 12/09/2016 11:01

Me too SciFi.

prettybird · 12/09/2016 11:19

I already have that rule with STDG anyway StatisticallyChallenged Grin

Noofly · 12/09/2016 11:32

Week of the 26th is fine for me. I suspect from StatisticallyChallenged's posting history that we might know some of the same people from work/previous employers. Grin
