Social Night & Quiz: We have booked the back lounge at Staggs Bar (81 North High St, Musselburgh, behind Brunton Hall) for the evening of Weds 15th Dec from 7pm onwards for a wee social get together and quiz. The maximum number of people we can have is 30 so please contact Wilma on  07899828194 if you would like to book any places. First come first served. To help raise some funds there will be a £1 entrance fee and we’ll have a raffle too. Teams of 4 for the quiz, either bring your team or we can match you up with others when you arrive. There will be a small prize for the winning team members.

6. Believe in Scotland Finally, Gordon Mcintyre-Kemp of Believe in Scotland is trying to raise funds to help boost available funds for the independence campaign. We are obviously up against massive potential donors from the Unionist side so any help you can give would be greatly appreciated and put to good use.  You can donate directly on his website at the following link:https://www.believeinscotland.org/flexible-donations/
or, as he is trying to get 10,000 people signed up to the Believe in Scotland Pledge, please consider pledging and also joining Believe in Scotland as a Stakeholder for £5 a month Here is the link for Pledging:https://www.believeinscotland.org/pledge/

Our next monthly meeting which is on the 29th Nov at 7.30pm, the last one of 2021.
