May the weather gods be with us this year, as the lovely beach on Dalmeny Estate
will provide a fantastic setting for our Skt Hans celebrations with the ritual burning of
witches and midges!

As usual, BBQ food and drinks will be on sale at the event. All you have to do is
bring blankets/picnic chairs and perhaps a copy of Højskolesangbogen!
Price: £6 for adults and £3 for children over 5, but do let us know beforehand of
any ‘hungry’ children under 5. Please sign up by returning the cut-off slip enclosed with the latest newsletter before 7th June.

Finally, the warm spring weather has arrived and with a bit of luck it’ll stay this way for a while.  What better than to join us for a picnic on St. Andrew’s Beach this Saturday, please see details below.  See you there

Venue: West Sands, St Andrews Beach

This year’s picnic will be held on the beautiful St Andrew’s Beach where you can usually rely on a bit of wind…. hence the reason for flying kites!
We meet at 11am at West Sands at the furthest away car park.

Please bring your own picnic, blankets, kites and swimwear (for the optimists).
There will also be an opportunity to try out stunt kites and land yachts (adults only). Keep fingers crossed for good weather, and we’ll see you there!
