Summer Brochure Launched

On Tuesday (14 June) in Gairloch Primary School, 45 children took part in an African drumming session with tutor Steven Sharpe to launch this year’s Summer Activities Brochure from Ross and Cromarty’s Education, Culture and Sport Service. Joining in the fun were councillors Roy Macintyre, Jean Urquhart and Isobel McCallum.

The programme gets going on Saturday 2nd July, in Evanton, with Bronze Age Pots for Tots and Celtic Mask Making. A wide variety of activities ranging from stained glass painting to learning about the Vikings are included in the programme as well as various sports activities.

Adults can have just as much fun as the children this summer with activities such as basket making for beginners and a mixed media course. Why not take part in a rag rug weekend in the Black Isle or a fun packed canoeing day?

For the children, and back by popular demand, the performance week provides a fun packed week of drama, music and movement, with a performance at the end of the week for family and friends to enjoy. Join silk painter Heather Butlin and as a group create a colourful and eye-catching banner to be displayed in Dingwall Leisure Centre.

If it’s quality time with the family you’re looking for, why not join one of the story walks taking place in various venues in the area or participate in a fun filled canoeing session. Make new friends and have fun participating in a wide array of activities which will keep both adults and children entertained for the summer weeks.

For further information on the activities available in the summer activities brochure and to book your place, please contact Community, Learning and Leisure on 01349 865550. The enquiries desk opens on June 27th so to avoid disappointment, please telephone to check availability of activities.
