Something for the weekend?

Ok mes amigos, there’s a host of good events happening in and around the East Coast of Scotland later this month so I thought I’d give you a little heads up.

Firstly, on Friday 25th September my friend Duncan is hosting the third Q Commons event. These nights are really stimulating as a variety of speakers (3 global talks via video broadcast and 3 delivered locally) address means of identifying and advancing the “common good” in our cities and cultures. My mind was buzzing after the last one I attended as I engaged with a bunch of topics and discussions that I may not have dealt with otherwise. Oh, and I’m helping deliver one of the local talks this time around with Jamie Marshall of Wave Project Scotland. All the info is here.

Secondly, Belhaven plays host to the Gathering of the Clans surf competition on Saturday 26th September. This will be a great chance to compete, spectate and socialise. All the info is up on the Scottish Surfing Federation website which you can connect to by clicking here.

And, as if your weekend wasn’t looking busy enough already, then there is the awesome Ocean Film Festival screening at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh from 7.30 that evening. It promises to deliver a wonderful evening of ocean cinemography. Click here to get the low-down and tickets.

Now, that’ll give you something to tell your colleagues about when they ask what you’re up to at the weekend?
