Halloween Ceilidh
We regularly hold a fancy dress celidh for halloween and
all sorts of ghosts and ghoulies turn out.
Year round we hire local bands for our own ceilidh nights and are also regulars at the Celtic Connections events.
Burns Supper
There's always a strong turnout for the annual Burns night. A bit
of a special do with full dinner, toasts, speeches and the immortal memory.
Eating Out
Meals out are well attended, you name it we've been there. Costs range
from cheap buffet nights through to some of the city's better restaurants.
Recently meals have been held at Est Est Est, Balbir's (Indian Veggie),
Antoniou's (Greek), Mao's, Sarti's, Papingo, Peking Inn and Kubla Khan.
Cycling
Days out have included a Sunday afternoon round Loch Rannoch, approximately
20 miles and cycling 14 miles part way round Loch Katrine.

Yes, we went water divining. Reportedly this involved wire coat hangers
(yes really).

| Medieval banquet |
Medieval Banquet
We hired Linlithgow Palace and dressed up for a full medieval
banquet by candlelight. A unique and memorable evening in this ancient
setting. This is an excellent example of the club at its best.
Wine Tastings
In fact our drink tastings often extend beyond wine, we've held 'Red
Hot Cocktail' evenings (mix the poisons of your choice), Whisky tastings
and Beer tastings.
Parties
Drinks, nibbles, dancing after a few. You know the story... If you'd
like to volunteer your flat for the evening please feel free. We also
organise an annual Christmas dinner dance.
Barbecues
We've done barbecues in back gardens, by the coast and up at Loch
Lomond. Sometimes it's even sunny.
Theatre
The cheapskates that most of us are, we're particularly keen on the
opening nights at The Citizens which are often free or
only a few pounds. Visits have included Death in Venice and Noel Coward's
Cavalcade.
