Does anyone know of any Edinburgh travel clubs ? Something along the lines of people getting together to discuss where they have been and planning future trips etc ?

I have searched on Google, but nothing has come up

Thanks in advance

I was on a mailing list for something like this a while back - I think they had slide shows at a hotel in Stockbridge - will try to dig out the name.

Aah - found it:
Scottish Travellers Exploring the Planet
Step Club, West End Hotel, 35 Palmerston Place, Edinburgh. STEP is a club for anyone of any age who is interested in travelling or in hearing about other people’s travels. You certainly don’t need to be an intrepid traveller to join - just as long as you have a healthy interest in places away from home! It meets usually on the first Monday of the month at 8.00pm for informal meetings, usually with a speaker and slide presentation. Guests are always very welcome indeed. You buy your own drink(s), and we charge £1 a night to cover other costs, and also have an annual subscription of c£10. For further information, contact xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx fairly sure that emails and phone no's are not allowed here - pm me if you want them or search Google for Scottish Travellers Exploring the Planet
Step - let me know what it's like - i kept meaning to go along but never got round to it - some of the talks sounded really interesting....

edit: found this web site for them:

Thank you so much for that.

I think this is the same club that advertised in Wanderlust travel magazine, but I emailed them and heard nothing back, but have applied for membership on the site you gave me.

I will PM you if I go to their meeting, but unfortunately I am away travelling on the 1st Monday of November !!

Cheers
