NEW - BME Women's Only Swimming Sessions

This is one for the ladies! We want to keep our girls healthy in the cold winter months, and you've all told us you love swimming to keep fit, so we have teamed up with Circle (The Haven) to start a new swimming group.

These sessions aim to help you stay active in a comfortable and relaxed setting. Children under 5 years are welcome, so bring them along, and the female lifeguard will ensure you and your children are safe in the water!

Wednesdays :: 12.15-1.15pm :: Craigroyston High School

Historic Scotland Seminar & World Cafe - Fri 25th Nov

Last week's Historic Scotland Seminar which aimed to highlight the importance and relevance of Scottish History and Historical buildings to the BME community was hugely successful, with a lot of positive feedback!

This was followed by an extremely busy World Cafe, with over 70 people in attendance, who commented on how much they enjoyed the food and the musical entertainment provided.

Historic Scotland Visits - Update

***After a couple of cancellations, there are still a few places available for Monday's visit to Edinburgh Castle***

To book places, call 0131 467 7990 as soon as possible.

Our outing to Stirling Castle went very well last week. It was a cold day, but luckily the rain held off so we got to have a good wander round with the entertaining and informative guide. We'll get the photos onto facebook after our Edinburgh Castle visit.

Historic Scotland Visits - Update

Both our Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle visits are now FULL!

If you're still interested in the trips you can put your name on our waiting list but unfortunately all of our guaranteed places have been booked.

These events are set to be fun and educational, and will allow us to get to know more people in our local community.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
