Edinburgh International Science Festival starts today

Just in case you’re at a loss as to what to do with yourself (and the kids) over the next two weeks of the easter break, you may be interested to discover that, as well as lots of events for adults, the Edinburgh International Science Festival offers a range of activities for children.

Edinburgh International Science Festival 2012

For general information on all events go to the What’s On section of the EISF website. For all the activity based stuff go here.

Edinburgh’s International Science Festival was founded in 1989 and is an educational charity that encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to discover, “the wonder of the world around them”.

The two-week event places an emphasis on giving audiences amazing experiences that inspire and confidence-build. It is also about communicating the excitement and benefits of science in innovative and engaging ways throughout the year, and to bringing science to life.

Help Cubs & Beavers return to Pencaitland

Can you spare a couple of hours a week to help the youth of the village and keep them occupied? Not that long ago Pencaitland had a thriving Beaver Colony and Cub Pack. However both closed due to lack of leaders.

We’ve been asked by Heather Jackson and Fiona Hopkinson of ADC Cubs to pass on their plea to the people of Pencaitland, Boggs Holdings, New Winton and Glenkinchie…

Our plea is to try and resurrect both Beavers and Cubs within Pencaitland as both Haddington and Tranent are unable to meet demand and both have waiting lists that are bursting at the seams!!

We are looking for interested parties, male or female aged 18+ who are enthusiastic, motivated and like children to get involved with the Scout movement. No experience is necessary as full training is given.

If you would like more information or think this could be you then please email Heather Jackson at heather.1963@live.co.uk or Fiona Hopkinson at email@davidhopkinson@live.co.uk.

Thanks

Heather Jackson and Fiona Hopkinson
ADC Cubs
