SWRI Annual Summer School
Join The SWRI Where Schools Not Out For Summer
If learning new skills and meeting new people sounds like something you wouldn’t mind doing over the summer, joining the Scottish Women’s Rural Institutes (SWRI) may be the perfect solution. One of the popular events that the SWRI runs is the annual Summer School, this year being held at the St. Leonard’s School in St. Andrews from 17 – 21 July with 127 delegates already registered.
The courses are educational, fun and a great place for like minded members to meet and participate on subjects that are of interest. Each Summer School is held in a different area in Scotland every year and they not only aim to be accessible to a majority of members, but also offer members the chance for extensive travel throughout Scotland.
The Summer School offers classes such as, Digital Photography at two levels – one for those with computer experience and one for novices - Singing for Pleasure, History of St. Andrews & District, Gardens, Drama for Fun, Silk Shading, Tatting and Scrapbooking. Each year there is a diverse selection of classes catering to all different tastes and abilities of members.
Alison Bayley, National Chairman of the SWRI, says, “The Summer Schools that we offer are hugely popular with members, this year several classes were full within a couple of months of its organisation. The courses prove to be so popular because we offer such a broad range of activities, catering to the different interests of our members. The Summer Schools also offer members the chance to get away with other women with similar interests which in many cases can end up in long lasting friendships being struck.”
“We feel that it is our attention to detail on trips and other courses or classes that we have on offer, which has resulted in our 25,000 strong memberships that the SWRI has throughout Scotland today.”
The SWRI encourages members to participate in many different activities such as attending classes, events or simply to enjoy the friendship of fellow members at monthly meetings. If you feel that the SWRI may have something to offer you in the way of classes, activities, courses or friendships or to find out more about what’s available to SWRI members, call the National Headquarters in Edinburgh on 0131 225 1724.
