Take a Heriot-Watt survey on Inverleith Pond
Joy Jarvie, a third-year PhD student at Heriot-Watt University, has approached us for help with her ecology-based field work on the pond in Inverleith Park. She is asking local residents if they’d fill in a survey on how they see the benefits of this pond.
To take her survey, click this online survey link.
Her e-mail address, for any questions you may have, is jaj31@hw.ac.uk.
Call for volunteer — 200 Club Administrator
The 200 Club is run jointly to raise funds for the Broughton Association and Stockbridge PSA. Over the past 10 years over £19,000 has been raised, which has been used to enhance the experience of students outwith the core curriculum provided through the school budgets.
After nearly 6 years, Corinne Wilson is about to hang up her calculator; many thanks to Corinne for her sterling work behind the scenes!
We are now seeking a new Club Administrator to assist with the monthly draws. It’s not an onerous task (most months the draw takes less than 30 minutes), but it does really require two people to be present to ensure fair play.
If you’re interested, or would like to find out more, please contact Graeme Robertson on bhs200club@gmail.com.
