Scotland v Italy
Saturday 18 March, kick-off 12:30pm
The Italy game is the first of three games on “Super Saturday”, the final day of the championship and so the bars and food areas will be open for the whole day so everyone at the game can watch the rest of the day’s action on the big screens around the stadium. Scotland have scored five tries in the last two meetings against the Azzurri and will be aiming to do likewise and finish the season on a high.

Tony McManus’s evening at All Saints Church will consist of a masterclass for keen guitarists (especially fingerpickers and flatpickers) starting at 18.30 (doors open at 18.00), followed by a concert starting at 21.00 (doors open at 20.00).
Tony is a Paul Reed Smith Artist
Tickets on sale at the door: €15 for the concert, €30 for the masterclass; €40 for both.
Please note that Robin Donald of Scotland for You 
will be selling his delicious products (smoked salmon, smoked salmon or trout pate, smoked cheese, oatcakes, etc.) for a tasty snack and a glass of wine between 18.00 and 21.00. He will also take orders of any products you would like to taste at home (a personal tip: the smoked salmon is delicious, while the pate is out of this world!).
It is not essential to book – you can just turn up on the night – but we would much appreciate it if you did so we have some idea of numbers. RSVP by email to John Murphy

Come and join us in beautiful St. Andrews for another fun-packed month of Scottish music and dancing in Summer 2017! The RSCDS Summer School has been an annual event (and our largest) for more than 80 years (excluding the years during WWII). Last year we welcomed more than 500 dancers from across the globe and across all ages.
Each Week of Summer School gives dancers the opportunity to take part in classes, social dancing, a Ceilidh or two with the input of experienced teachers and great musicians, and of course to dance at our famous Younger Hall. Dancers stay in St. Andrews University and accomodation, food and social dances are all included in the price (with residential and non-residential options).
Last year we introduced ‘Junior Summer School’ (JSS) for those between 8-11 years old, which we are proud to say was a great success! Building on last year we are pleased to once again offer the programme in Week Three of Summer School 2017 for those looking to bring the wee ones along to learn how to Dance Scottish. Class times coincide with the adult classes – JSS starts a bit earlier and finishes a bit later so you can drop them off and still attend your own classes at Summer School.
In addition, our Music Course is increasingly popular with musicians of all ages taking part to learn the finer points of playing for Scottish Country Dancing. Teaching comes from some amazing band leaders who have played and taught worldwide.
The RSCDS Summer School offers something for everyone; whether you are a dancer or a musician, young or slighly older, we welcome you to St. Andrews to take part in our historic Summer School where fun, fitness and friendship can be felt in every step.
Happy dancing!
The Dates for Summer School 2017 are:
Week 1: 16 – 23 July
Week 2: 23 – 30 July
Week 3: 30 July – 6 August
Week 4: 6 – 13 August
Please note: The deadline for applications is 31st March, 2017

The event is open to Scottish country dancers who have attended the course on Scottish Country Dancing Course or who are proficient in the dances listed below.
The purpose of this course is to prepare participants for the very first Milan Highland Ball, to be held on Saturday, 26 May 2018 at the Hotel de la Ville directly in front of the Villa Reale in Monza. This is a formal dinner dance for which most of the tickets have already been sold.
Note that apart from Britannia Two-Step, these are Scottish country dances – not ceilidh dances. They will not be called or explained on the night. You will have to come knowing the dances already, because this is very much a dancers’ night.
