The meeting will be held as usual in the Braid Hills Hotel at 8:00 pm. Members usually gather from 7:30 pm onwards for informal discussion prior to the talk.

We have moved the content of our site to a format that will (we hope) be more attractive, easier to maintain, and more useful and informative. We are now posting photographs of most recent meetings, Field Days etc. See what you may have missed!

To use a well-worn cliche - THIS IS YOUR WEBSITE - so please let us know of any additions or improvements that would give it more value to you. Contact Alan GM3PSP or John GM8OTI  / QTHR

It is planned to add a section on the Lothians Archives, including photographs. If you have photographs that might be suitable, please contact Alan GM3PSP QTHR.
