Shellbacks are headed North of the border for the first time! Are there any catters up there? We shall have duties on the dock but would be interested to know of any pubs in the city where singing goes on. We are there Fri 23rd May to Monday 26th May. I'm looking forward to the Whiskey!

Surely that should be 'Whisky'!! Enjoy yourselves. Sick as a parrot that we can't make it!

Actually Maggie and I and Linda and John Kelly will be there. Alan is hoping to find somewhere for us to congregate, so watch this space.

International Festival of the Sea
Leadfingers, what name are you booked under?

My female fellow-Shellbacks may well be pleased to know that Ship 'n' Whales are also booked.... :0)

The Shellbacks will be meeting for a beer and possibly a singaround/music session on Friday night at 7.30 pm onwards at Bert's Bar, 27 William Street, which is about 400 yards from the west end of Princes Street. All friends of the Shellbacks will be welcome!
I'm sure there will further music sessions/singarounds/gatherings in that or another pub on Saturday and Sunday nights too - tba!

The Baggies are there too - it's "all the usual suspects" again. I lived in Edinburgh in the early 70's, but I doubt if any of my local knowledge is still relevant! I can probably still find Prince's Street, though. I'll see those of you that I see, somewhere about!
