Heard today that PONGS [admin: edited] hired the Old Parish Halls for a sale, then refused to pay for the hire. Can you believe them after this? would they refuse to pay their QCs etc? No!

Aint the silence deafening? PONGS are soooo upset it's in the open!

I wouldn't hold your breath for a response. Not everyone values the concept of open discussion. I would imagine that a Level 4 D-Notice was applied almost immediately.

What a brilliant poster- so much more impactful than the norm!! Unfortunately, the date clashes with the Portobello Water Polo dinner so POP and I can't make it.

I've seen Hamish Moore quite often, mainly when he was in charge of Foxy's kitchen extension and what a great job he did.!!

Well, last night's Benefit Concert more than lived up to the billing. If you were there, you will know what a fantastic night it was. Great range of music, some absolutely stunning performances and a fantastic atmosphere. It has to have been our most successful night so far, beating our sell out Salsa Ceilidh night and raising £1621.50 for PONGS. Big, big thanks to everyone

Thanks for posting these Seanie. Wonder who supplies Viridor with that 'fuzzy, distant hill, winter sky grey with a touch of fog' paint?!

PONGS are holding a public meeting this Tue 12 January, in St Mark's Church, Portobello High Street (opposite the top of Bellfield street) at 7.30 pm.

The purpose of the meeting is to let people know a bit about how our preparations are going and to explain how people can help and how the local public inquiry will work.
