Leith Open Space

Winter warmers

With days racing to the end of the year, Leith Open Space winter newsletter takes a quick look back to summer (see Rhythm of the Street), catches up with the present (Christmas lights, action, music). Then goes fast forward to a photography competition (What’s your View?) and exciting plans for community gardens (Growing Greener) in 2008. Hope you can enjoy a little time travel with us.

Christmas lights, action and music

Once again members of Leith Open Space group are warming up for an energetic night at the Edinburgh Refugee Centre. The annual Winter party is always a great event: good food, vibrant music and a really welcoming atmosphere among people from many different countries. Come and join us if you can on Thursday December 13 from 7.00-10pm.

The Winter Party at St George’s West Church – with a Ceilidh band “Shandrixâ€?, Indian band “Sahaj Dharaâ€?, international food and entertainment for all the family – marks the end of a busy week at the centre beginning on Tuesday December 11 with the Christmas Art Workshop to make decorations for the party. In between there’s a walk through the lights of Princes Street to see the new exhibition at the City Art Centre, “Seeing Dragons in the Clouds”, before finishing with the visit to the German market.

Norman weekly activities continue as usual with an employment workshop on December 13, immigration advice session on December 18 and housing information for refugees on December 20. The centre is closed for Christmas between December 21 and January 2.
