Craigroyston Community Classes enrolling NOW
Attached is a newsletter created by our adult learners, celebrating some of our community achievements (below)
CRAIGIE COMMUNTY NEWS March 2017 FINAL
It would be great if you could let people know we are currently taking bookings for our classes for the summer term, through www.Joininedinburgh.org or people are welcome to pop in or ring us.
We have lots of really good courses at excellent charges, such as Warm Yoga (which will be not as hot as Hot Yoga but still very beneficial). These are listed on the back of the newsletter.
We have a Sitar class starting in April – the only one in the country and this will offer a unique opportunity to try out something vaguely exotic but quite simple to grasp the basics. Numbers are very limited so first people to enrol will get the places.
And we have Holiday Spanish and Holiday French to help with language whilst away enjoying the sunshine!.
We also have a Craft Fair this Saturday 18th March in the school with trade price paper and glitter and all your crafting needs, between 10am-2pm with excellent bacon rolls and coffee at £1 each.
