As part of my discussions with Filofax this year, we have managed to arrange an exclusive afternoon visit to their factory and distribution centre at Dalkeith near Edinburgh for Philofaxy readers. Also present will be members of the Letts - Filofax management team, so you will be able to put faces to names and chat about our common love of Filofax products. They are looking forward to meeting more of you too!
This exclusive visit will take place on the afternoon of Monday 4th November, I also intend to have a meet up and lunch on Saturday 2 November as well, for details see further down this post.
So this is a 'calling notice' for people who would like to attend the either of Philofaxy Meet Ups in Edinburgh or both!.
Please read all of the post before you apply for a place on the meet ups. Places are limited in numbers.

I can make it to Edinburgh that morning but it looks like there is no train to Dalkeith. Does anyone know the best way to get there from Edinburgh, and approximately how long it takes?
ReplyDeleteI've just looked online at Lothianbuses.com and they appear to do a regular bus service. The bus takes approx 45 minutes and they have quite a few buses every hour.
