Warm welcome awaits at Community Circle

My name is Gillian and I help to facilitate a Community Circle in North Edinburgh, which meets in North Edinburgh Arts on the second Tuesday of every month from 5.30 – 8pm.

The aim of the circle is to meet, get to know each other and share our resources in an environment which values everyone’s gifts. Basically we eat together (food is provided), we chat and have a forum for sharing our thoughts, gifts and skills (although there is absolutely no pressure to do this if you don’t want to).

We come form all kinds of backgrounds and are a very welcoming group!

I have attached our poster which has a bit more information on it. If you’re interested or would like to find out more, please email circle@edg-sco.org or telephone 476 0522.

Fire at Craigroyston High School

CCHSfire

Craigroyston High School will open as normal this morning despite a fire at the school last night.

The fire was reported at 9pm last night and 35 firefighters, with six pumping appliances and various special appliances, tackled the blaze.

No casualties were reported but there is some external damage to the building, which first opened in May 2010.

The old Craigroyston High School building was demolished following a major fire in July 2010 (pictured below).

Emergency services personnel are still at the scene and the cause of the fire is being investigated.
