Starting next Wednesday we will be launching our weekly living library event for the month of March.
At FetLor we think that everyone should have a chance to share their stories, in this spirit we have invited some guest speakers to come share their stories with our S1+ drop-in group as well as to hear theirs in return.

POLIVE officers in Edinburgh are appealing for witnesses following an assault and robbery incident which happened in Drylaw.
Shortly before 11am on Wednesday (21 February), a 20-year-old man was walking on the footpath between Silverknowes Neuk and Wester Drylaw Drive when he was approached from behind by three men.
They assaulted him and stole a number of personal items, including a designer jacket and mobile phone.
The victim went to hospital for treatment to facial injuries.
Detective Constable William Doughty from Corstorphine CID said: “This area and footpath network is frequented by locals regularly and I’d ask anyone who saw what happened to come forward and speak with officers.
“The victim left the area following the incident towards Wester Drylaw Place and the suspects are believed to have been on foot.
“Anyone with any information should contact Police Scotland via 101 and quote incident number 1074 of 21 February 2024. An anonymous report can be given to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
Unfortunately due to lack of interest/tickets requested, we have had to cancel the concert this Friday.

As you may know, this year is FetLor’s 100th birthday!
We are keen to connect with as many former members as we can this year.
On 24th May we are having our Centenary Dinner at Fettes College. As part of that evening, we would like to show some short interviews with former members. We are keen to hear about your favourite FetLor experiences and what you are doing now.
Our Chief Executive, Richie Adams, would love to chat with you. Richie would be delighted to welcome you to the club for a coffee and chat at a time to suit you or he’ll happily come and meet you at a place that suits you both.
Alternatively, if you’d like to make a short video telling us your favourite FetLor memory, when you were a member and what you’re doing now and, perhaps, wish us a happy birthday, we can show that on the night too. Just send it to Richie and he’ll do the rest.
We are really keen to make this a fantastic year and very much hope we can reconnect with you.
If you would like to come to the Club or meet with Richie somewhere else, please either message us here or drop Richie and email at richie@fetlor.org.uk
Looking forward to seeing you!
