Stewart's
Melville College
Alma mater, and the source of many of the
fine young players that grace the turf at Inverleith. Respect
is due!
FP Club
A direct link to Ernie Wilkins' corner of
the main Stewart's Melville College site (above).
FP
Golf Club
The FP Golf Club continues to thrive, despite the fact
that Fraser Pollock recently won the Club Championship!
With its 125th anniversary on the horizon (in 2012), the
Club now has its own website.
Stewart's
Melville Royal High Cricket Club
Or SMRHCC to those in the know. Nice web
site devoted to some bizarre Summer sport involving willow
trees, cream teas and massaging your genitals with leather.
Allegedly.
Edinburgh
Rugby Referees Society
A really useful site from the local office
of the Men We Love To Hate. Check out the 'Resources' section
for thumbnail maps showing directions to every club ground
in Scotland.
The new monthly club rugby magazine from
our good friends at Bell Johnstone Communications. With
Nosebag and Black Al working for them, heavy Stew Mel coverage
seems likely!
A free radio station offering unparalleled
coverage of the Scottish club rugby scene. A new show is
aired on Sky TV Channel 0195 (and online) every Monday night,
while additional online channels provide Special Features,
Reports and Interviews.
Rugby Excellence have delivered youth coaching
clinics around Scotland for 18 years, and at Stewart's Melville
for the last ten years. They will be running clinics at
Inverleith at Easter and Summer 2008.
The
David Azhar Appeal
David broke his neck playing for Whitecraigs RFC in 2001.
This resulted in the loss of movement in David's limbs
from his shoulders down. The David Azhar Appeal was established
on 8th October 2002 with a clear purpose - to transform
David’s life.
The Caledonian
Brewery
The other pride of Edinburgh. The
only thing wrong with Inverleith is that they don't have
a Caley 80/- tap on the bar.
The Olive
Branch
A splendid new restaurant in Broughton Street,
run by 1st XV scrum half Stu Thom and his wife Kerry. There's
also a deli of the same name down at Howard Street in Canonmills.
Both offer top-notch Mediterranean fare
in relaxed surroundings and at reasonable prices.
Tribe Tattoo
Wholly unofficial tattooist to Stew Mel
FP RFC. But ask for Morag, and she'll do you a lovely Lions
logo like the one above. They're up in West Nicholson Street,
opposite the Pear Tree.
Ripping Records
Need an excuse to miss training? Then go
to a gig! These boys, based on South Bridge, are Edinburgh's
concert ticket vendors of choice, and lovely blokes, to
boot. John's a card carrying Nail, but please don't hold
that against him!
The Upper
Crust
A slightly superior rock band for a slightly
superior rugby club. Don your periwig, and I'll see you
in the Posh Pit.
