Due to a leaking pipe in the Anne Younger Studio at the Eastgate Theatre, it has been necessary to cancel Douglas Hope's talk on Town and Country Planning that was scheduled for Wednesday the 18th of February 2026. It is hoped that this talk may take place at another time and we will let members know the revised date as soon as possible.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused.
The campaign to save Kingsmeadows has been front-page news many times. What makes this 200-year old woodland – the last in the Peebles Conservation Area – worth saving?
At our March lecture, Dr. Catriona McKay will delve into its history, discuss its rich biodiversity and explain why, in the face of the climate and nature crises, preserving and enhancing woodlands like Kingsmeadows is so important for people, places and nature.
This meeting will take place in the Anne Younger Studio, Eastgate Theatre, Peebles on the 18th of March 2026 at 7.30pm.
Free tickets are available from the Eastgate Box Office or online (note there is a booking fee if you obtain online).
The committee will be holding its next meeting on Tuesday the 17th of March at 7.30pm. If you have any concerns, or would like to contact the committee, please contact us.
