PEP Talk

Pilton Equalities Project (PEP) annual general meeting will take place on Friday 26 October at 11am in PEP’s West Pilton Park office – and it’s time to get your nomination papers in if you want to be a director.

PEP is a community-run and managed organisation, with a voluntary management board, and welcomes nominations for membership of the Board of Directors from people who live in the community and representatives of local organisations who have an interest in the work of the project.

The maximum number of members of the Board is eleven, with a majority of members being elected from groups or activities associated with the Project.  If more than 11 nominations are received in time for the Annual General Meeting there will be a vote at the AGM. A further four co-opted places will be available for those who have experience and/or skills which could be of assistance to the directors.

Interested? For further information call 315 4466 or email pepequalities@btconnect.com

Completed nomination forms must be received by Friday 19th October.

PEP Summer Fayre cancelled

Pilton Equalities Project’s summer fayre has been cancelled. Organisers took an early decision to cancel Thursday’s event after the weekend weather – and the threat of more rain to come.
PEP summer fayre organiser Theodora Hildago explained: “Due to the adverse weather conditions PEP’s fayre venue at West Pilton Park has become waterlogged, With the Fayre being so large and with the promise if yet more rain to come, PEP has taken the difficult decision to cancel the Thursday 12 July summer fayre. We hope to instead hold an event later on in the year and will be in contact with more details as soon as we have them. All table holders will be contacted and we thank everyone for their interest in supporting PEP and the local community of North Edinburgh. May the rain stop soon!”

PEP seeks help

 

PEP manager Helen Tait

Local organisation Pilton Equalities Project is looking for help with an unusual request.  PEP is seeking … binoculars!  No, they haven’t lost one of their minibuses – the binoculars are needed for a project they are currently planning.

So if you have any binoculars tucked away somewhere – large or small, any condition – PEP would like to hear from you.  If you can help, call PEP on 315 4466 or email pepequalities@btconnect.com
