We very much wanted to run a summer school. It has not been possible to do this for three years. We understand how much our pupils benefit from weeklong intensive tuition and from the specialist input of guest tutors from Orkney and beyond.

The funding was to support Soulisquoy Young Associates (SYAs) to develop and deliver a project of their own devising that would appeal to children and young people 12-18 year olds. Their project involved heat press printing and applique to produce a set of individual banners and one large collaborative piece.

The event was a photographic exhibition of the building of the Churchill Barriers, which had never been viewed publicly before. 

We are delighted to report that the 40^th Anniversary Festival went very well indeed and even exceeded our expectations in terms of ticket sales
