So you'll have received an email from our
illustrious Chairman about nets and how we need to get as many people to
come along. The reasons are multiple, firstly we want to hit the season
running, improve our skills and get creaky muscles moving, secondly we
need the nets to pay for themselves - we try to keep it cheap, only £3
for 2 hours of practice is a bargain.
So anyway, to help us along i've done some research for those who arent able to easily get to Merchiston Castle (EH13 0PU) which is across the road from the Redford Infantary Barracks.
There are 3 bus routes which stop directly outside the school. These
routes are below and i've noted the main areas which the routes go
through
Number 10 - Leith, Princes St, Lothian Rd, Polwarth Gd, Colinton Rd, Craiglockhart, NETS, Bonaly
Number 18 (first bus on a sunday) - Little France, Gilmerton Rd, Mortonhall, Comiston, Oxgangs, NETS, Longstone, South Gyle
Number 45 - Potobello, Meadowbank, Bridges, Brunstfield, Colinton Rd, NETS, Currie, HWU
That's one part of it. The other is a request to those who drive to
nets. If you have space in your car and are willing to pick people up on
the way, can i ask you to post on Facebook in advance the route you are
going and roughly when.
We will create a new post each week on our Facebook page for drivers
to reply to, and people seeking lifts can say where they are.
Cheers. Please can we take this opportunity to get down to nets, meet up
with old friends, dust off the skills and maybe even learn some new
ones.
