Ramble on Victoria
Day, 19 May
"Leaving on the London Express at
quarter before eight o' clock. Eyemouth is one of those
extremely interesting fishing villages which stud the East
coast. This is one of the finest coast walks to be had in
the district, and for the photographer is teeming with
photographic views of cliffs, shores, &c."
“On the outing to
Eyemouth, a motor car was in readiness at St Abbs and conveyed
the Members to Coldingham. The Members then motored to
Reston and caught the evening train which arrived at Waverley
punctually, which was remarkable for the North British Railway,
especially as it was a holiday."

Will there be any Excursions in 1915?
Transactions of the EPS announced in May 1915:
"It
has hitherto been the practice in the Spring and early Summer
for members of the Society to spend one or two whole days and
several half-days visiting places of photographic interest, but
it has not been possible this Season, on account of the
disturbed state of the country due to the war, to make any
arrangements for these delightful excursions so highly
appreciated in the past by a large number of the members.
The
Military authorities raise strong objection to cameras near any
camp or position, and the Railway Companies have temporarily
suspended all reduction of fares, while photographic plates and
materials have risen so much in price that it requires some
careful calculation and consideration to face a day’s outing
with a camera.
Besides,
so many members have joined His Majesty’s Forces, while others
have taken up additional work in one way or another that the
number of members with any leisure are entirely in the minority.
It
is thought, however, that it might be possible to arrange for
one half-day in June, and the places mentioned, regarding
which enquiry is being made, are the grounds of Arniston near
Gorebridge, Newbattle, or Dalkeith, but a further announcement
will be made in the “Transactions” for next month.
In
the meantime members intending to be present should be
considering ways and means in order that there may be as large a
gathering as possible"
In fact two short outings, at low cost
were arraned (below). |

Ramble on 12
June
by
motor bus - fare 7d single
The
grounds are very extensive and the number of “bits” worthy
of a “plate” are sufficient to satiate the most capricious
photographer
Members
must be in their places fully
fifteen minutes before the hour of leaving as there is no
booking of seats beforehand.
Should
any wish to travel by train they will meet the party at the Lion
and Elephant Entrance to the grounds at Arniston about
3-00 pm. The distance is two miles and a bittock. |
