In the short term there may be difficulties in parking in Melville St. The closure of Shandwick Place during developments for the new Tramway, will necessitate the restriction of parking facilities to allow space for diverted traffic.

Unloading and dropping of passengers will still be possible.

Parking should present no problems.

There is no charge for attendance (except for the Christmas party). The talks are followed by discussion and tea/coffee and biscuits (cost 20p).
