It's Gaitherin Week!

 

125 primary 4 - 7s are in the midst of a fantastically busy week of music, dance, drama and good fun!

A lovely bunch of tutors, youth workers, board members and volunteers have been working extremely hard all week to make sure that everything is running smoothly.

Looking forward to seeing all the parents and family at the concert on Friday night.  7pm start - be sharp if you want a seat!

A group of board members, volunteers, youth workers and the youth work and tutor co-ordinators met this weekend at SAGs to undertake some leadership training.  A great day was had, with some interesting revelations about how we work as a team and some positive steps towards improved relations and productivity through the year!

 

Joining the adult volunteers for dinner were 24 secondary Gaitherers who were arriving to start their training towards becoming shadow tutors and youth workers.  Led by Jackie, Deco and Caroline with great support from Caitlin and Daniel, the young team worked incredibly hard to improve their skills!  The secondary aged Gaitherers are encouraged to help at the Easter Gaitherin, in a a variety of roles but only once they had applied for and taken part in this training weekend.  Everyone did really well in participating and I'm sure we all learned lots!  We are really looking forward to getting stuck in to the Easter Gaitherin week now, with fantastic support from the young team!!

 

If you would like to volunteer to help at the Gaitherin, please get in touch either by email or on the Gaitherin number.  Perhaps you could help with lunches, offer a one off workshop, do the electrical testing, book keeping or something else I haven't thought of!  01467 628 118   This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
