rscds glasgow branch

Glasgow played a significant role in the early stages of the formation of the RSCDS. A Glasgow Herald announcement invited persons interested in "Scots Country Dances" to an inaugural meeting in Glasgow on 26 November 1923. The Glasgow Branch of the Scottish Country Dance Society became separate from HQ soon afterwards, hence both have a 'founding' date of 1923. ("Royal" was added in 1951.) Other Branches were formed later. The Glasgow Branch became a Charity on 1 Jan 1992. For an early history of HQ and Glasgow Branch see article by Alastair McFadyen.

great western education

Situated in Tadpole Garden Village, Great Western Academy opened in September 2018 and our Sixth Form opened September 2019. We are fortunate to have a brand new building with fantastic facilities. This provides truly excellent opportunities for the students who learn with us and for the whole community of North Swindon. Our vision centres on the three core principles of Achievement, Care and Excellence (ACE) and learners are at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to create an exceptional Academy that radically improves our students’ career chances. We want every learner to do well enough to go on to university or pursue a fruitful career via an apprenticeship or other training route. Since their careers will include many different roles, some of which have not yet been invented, the adults of tomorrow need to be independent thinkers, creative problem solvers and adaptable, lifelong learners. Alongside a first-rate academic curriculum, at GWA we will teach, nurture and develop the enterprise skills valued by employers and higher education providers alike to enable our students to thrive as active citizens of the 21st Century world, full of initiative and humble confidence.

ranfurly castle golf club

Less than 30 minute drive from Glasgow city centre and 7 miles west of Glasgow Airport, Ranfurly Castle is easily accessible sitting on the edge of Bridge of Weir village. However, once you have played your approach to the second green and looked back over the Clyde valley, it’s the last you will see of Glasgow other than fleeting glimpses, for the next couple of hours as you enter the Renfrewshire countryside and enjoy one of the best moorland courses in Scotland.

jr training services (scotland)

Leading building and construction specialist, The JR Group, has launched a new scaffold inspection service as part of its new training services division. The service will provide a thorough seven-day scaffolding inspection in accordance with the Working at Height Regulations, 2005. The launch from the firm, which has more than 25 years of expertise in the field, meets massive demand from the sector, offering a fully compliant service to comply with SG4. As well as mandatory weekly scaffold inspections, the team will also provide one off inspections, independent scaffold inspections, Anchor Tie Pull Out Testing, PASMA aluminium tower inspections, advanced design structure inspections and incident and accident investigations. Expert advice on access solutions will also be on offer. All audits and inspection reports will provide detailed information regarding remedial works required within an appropriate timescale, complete with photographs. Ronnie Charters, HSEQ Manager for JR Scaffold will be leading with the new inspection service. He has more 30 years’ experience within the scaffold industry and is the current regional chair for Scotland / Northern Ireland for NASC. As the NCC / CITB access instructor / safety advisor for all National Construction colleges throughout the UK, Ronnie has been carrying out safety site audits and scaffolding weekly inspections for various clients throughout the UK and abroad for more than 20 years. Ronnie Charters, HSEQ Manager, said: “We are very excited to be able to offer this invaluable service to the industry considering the current high demand, and at the same time satisfying the shortage of accredited, competent personnel available to carry out this type of work. “The demand for this type of service is massive as there is a conflict of interest once a company erects a structure and carries out its own scaffold inspections. Introducing an impartial company to carry out audits and inspections provides peace of mind for all involved. “By using a service like this, it will ensure that all scaffold structures meet appropriate safety standards before first use, and they will be inspected at intervals of no more than the seven days until it is dismantled. It will inspect structures after extreme weather conditions, high winds or any other events likely to affect its strength or stability, as well as after any substantial additions or alterations or after any unauthorised or third-party interference. “We look forward to rolling this service out, providing much-needed support to the sector.” The JR Group employs around 200 staff and was founded in Govan in 1995. It started as a scaffolding business and is now one of the largest building and construction firms in Scotland. The business operates throughout Scotland and Northern England working on behalf of a number of the UK’s leading housebuilders, registered social landlords and private clients.

"After months and months of research into multiple different PMU trainers, my heart was set on training with Emma and it is honestly the best thing I have ever done!

pole place glasgow

In the Winter of 2014, Pole Place opened its first studio just South of London in West Sussex. A second studio followed shortly after north of the border in the heart of Glasgow’s city centre. Founded by Ruby Rose Jackson in her hometown of Horsham, Pole Place’s original home was on the second floor of a popular bar on Piries Place - B52’s. Ruby had long dreamt of opening her own Pole studio having become hooked years earlier. Qualifying as an instructor, and with an ever-growing Pole skillset combined with a natural passion for teaching and inspiring those around her the initial idea of Pole Place was firmly at the visionary stage. Like any new business, funding was required to move it from the ideas stage to cutting the ribbon. With the studio as the inspiration Ruby began to fly as cabin crew with British Airways. Without revealing the un-glamorous side to air travel, on many random nights in many random places, hotel rooms all around the world became Ruby’s office - any spare minute she could find would go into business planning, designing, developing and creating her dream - Pole Place. Her dedication eventually paid off and she was able to leave her full-time post flying to finally open Pole Place’s studio doors. Pole Place initially began with a handful of clients. Steadily growing within the first couple of years, the Horsham studio later moved into our larger, current home on Church Street in Warnham. In 2016, a change in Ruby’s personal life presented her with a family move to Scotland. This gave way for an ideal opportunity to open a Pole Place sister venue on West Nile Street in Glasgow’s city centre which provides our Scottish “hame”! At Pole Place, we are extremely proud to have created a safe space for anyone to come and step out of their comfort zone and into an exciting new world. Where hair is flicked, confidence is boosted and dreams are made. Growing over the years, we have had the pleasure of teaching thousands of clients across both our studios. With nine instructors within our team, we are honoured to provide support and inspiration to all of our clients. From teaching the basics to mastering tricks, giving new skills, confidence and empowering one another. You can be anyone you want to be in the studio with zero judgement and only encouragement from all of the Pole Place Family.
