Local organisation Pilton Equalities Project is looking for help with an unusual request. PEP is seeking … binoculars! No, they haven’t lost one of their minibuses – the binoculars are needed for a project they are currently planning.
So if you have any binoculars tucked away somewhere – large or small, any condition – PEP would like to hear from you. If you can help, call PEP on 315 4466 or email pepequalities@btconnect.com
Scotland has a proud history of producing internationally renowned writers, from Burns, Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson to contemporary talents like Hugh MacDairmid, Liz Lochhead and Irvine Welsh. If you’d like to learn more about modern Scottish literature there’s a free course starting at The Prentice Centre later this month that’s just ‘write’ for you!
Starting on 23 January, ‘Modern Scottish Literature’ is a 8 – 10 week course that will run on Monday afternoons from 2.30 – 4.30pm in The Prentice Centre. Supported by the Workers Education Association and Prentice Centre’s Adult Education Group, the course is free to all participants.
The course tutor is Derek Suttie (pictured), who is no stranger to The Prentice Centre. Derek was formerly Senior Community Education worker based at the centre in Granton Mains Avenue until he retired last year.
For further information on ‘Modern Scottish Literature’ or to book your place on the course please contact The Prentice Centre on 552 0485 or WEA on 225 2580.
