There was an Edinburgh visit aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago, back when they
first opened for public visits. If folk want to go as a society then I
think that could be arranged, possibly even funded by the society -
funds allowing.

I think there was some discussion of a hackerspace being formed during
the previous incarnation of the society but nothing thus far now. It
would cost a lot of money which is something the society simply
doesn't have right now. However, if folk wanted to pool resources I
would think the Board would have zero issues.
