The Cairncastle classes, sponsored by the Ulster Scots Agency and Larne Borough Council, are now full but anyone wishing to enrol for September can do so by ringing 07944 360112. Complete beginners are very welcome.

Meanwhile, the Cairncastle troupe are doubly safe following the delivery of two portable first aid kits, courtesy of Premier Power.

Tutor Laura, a qualified nurse, is delighted as she recognises the importance of treating sports-related injuries.

“Any slight injuries that occur benefit immensely from being treated on the spot, leading to a much shorter recovery period,” she explained.
