Edinburgh Branch
Life at RSA Edinburgh
The Branch meets regularly for lunch throughout the year at a venue either in the City of Edinburgh or at a location where there is good access by public transport. In addition, there are occasional outings to places of interest, again where access can be made by public transport.
RSA members regardless of Branch, may attend any of our ‘self-supporting‘ events which are publicised on this website (below) or in Contrail. (Note: many of the function venues do require advance reservations, your expression of interest in attending should therefore be made in advance, via the Branch official arranging the event)
The ’events‘ e-mailing is sent to Edinburgh Branch* members who have provided the RSA with an email contact and to other members on application. (* Edinburgh Branch now includes members formally listed under H&I).
