Members Programme
Below is our Member’s only programme. Becoming a Member is free and straightforward. Simply complete an online Membership form. We will then meet with you and tell you about how to access the classes and opportunities below as well as make you aware of the Code of Conduct (‘houserules’) and ensure you our policies and procedures which we all follow to keep everyone safe.
Following the First Minister’s announcements and Scottish Government plans we are now open. We will have restrictions in place and ask that you follow our procedures that protect all our Members, staff and volunteers. We have reduced our in-person to a minimum justifiable level until such time as the Vaccine has reached all the population or if permitted or advised by Public Health Scotland that it is safe to do so.
Please see below all the details of the current Member’s programme
We run the following:
-
In-person in the centre activities (run in accordance with strict safety measures)
-
Outdoor activities and trips

On-line activities
