RECENT EVENTS
ESU Summer Garden Party, Sunday 15th August
We were very fortunate to have glorious sunshine for our first ESU Summer Garden
Party. Douglas Gardens in the West End of Edinburgh provided the perfect location
for a delicious buffet lunch and a wonderful afternoon with members and friends. The celebrated Scottish
filmmaker, Murray Grigor, gave a fascinating talk and a great time was had by all. Special thanks to
Jackie Lockett for the fabulous lunch.
Fundraising Race Night, 17th July
For the second time we held a fundraising Race Night here at the ESU Gallery. Once again it was a fun
evening where we had the opportunity to experience all the excitement of a day at the
races. Many of our friends and members came along to enjoy a buffet supper, quizzes and games, and
races galore, and we raised over £1,000 towards our debating work with schools.
Races were generously sponsored by:
Brewin Dolphin Ltd.
French Duncan
Geoghegans Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors
Indigo
Kraya Digital Technologies
Brian Monteith
Ryden
Vacta Ltd.
Horse owner prizes generously donated by William Grant & Sons Ltd.
Many thanks also to those organisations and individuals who generously donated raffle prizes.
This is an annual event, so if you missed it, come along next year!
