Edinburgh College students set to Glow!

Edinburgh College’s dazzling creative students are about to light up the city with a two-month celebration of their luminous skills!

The Let’s Glow festival will give Edinburgh the chance to enjoy performances and exhibitions from students covering everything from music, theatre and dance to photography, sculpture, illustration and much more.

The programme (see below) shines a beaming light on the inspirational talent of the Edinburgh College students and is a glowing testimony to the outstanding work they have accomplished this year.

Let’s Glow runs from 15 May to 18 July, with events taking place at venues across Edinburgh and some students taking their work down to exhibit in London.

Sainsbury’s staff – or ‘colleagues’ – are encouraged to help in the community and are rewarded for their services.

The Blackhall store’s  Gail Wilson volunteers at Edinburgh Athletics Club, where she is a volunteer official at athletics meetings and also helps with fundraising – and Sainburys has awarded her charity £200.

LOCAL HEROES: Pictured above are Edinburgh A.C. sprinters Craig Knowles, Gabriella Vita, Salvano Marcantonio, Gail Wilson, Michael Fernie, Chris Kelly and Sam Revie.

Blackhall Horticultural Society are holding their annual plant sale tomorrow (Saturday 10 May) at St. Columba’s Church Halls on Hillhouse Road.

The Society plan to have an excellent range of plants for instant colour in your garden as well as some ‘home grown’ perennials, and there will be free advice on hand from time-served experts too.

Last year’s sale made over £440 and the group hopes to beat that total this weekend so get there sharp for the bargains – doors open 10am!
