DESCRIPTION:Fife and Tayside Traditional Building Forum Demonstration Workshop\n13th and 14th  March at Wemyssfield Square\, opposite the Townhouse \n  \nThe Fife and Tayside Traditional Building Forum will be showcasing traditional building skills which will feature local apprentices demonstrating their skills. \nThe highlight of the event will be the opportunity for High School pupils to be introduced to four traditional building skills by local apprentices and tradespeople. Each pupil will have the opportunity to have a ‘hands on’ taster session of each skill. There will be opportunities for visitors and members of the public to have a go too! \n  \n \nThe traditional skills included are as follows: \n\nStone Masonry\nSlating\nJoinery\nPainting\n\nWe are particularly pleased that Barbara Cummins\, Director of Heritage Management at Historic Environment Scotland has kindly agreed to open the event at 10.30am on Monday 13th March\, after which the morning will be free for drop-in participation sessions of the traditional skills with the demonstrators. On Tuesday 14th\, there will also be some time in the programme to try out these skills between the morning and afternoon school sessions.  \nThe event is open to all and includes an information and exhibition tent which will be available throughout the two day event. It will feature careers information about training and jobs in traditional trades and information about caring for traditional buildings from CITB and Historic Environment Scotland. It will also have information for home owners regarding their rights and responsibilities in repairing and maintaining their own homes and also working together with other owners with whom they share a common interest to repair and maintain the common parts of their buildings. \n  \n \nThis event is particularly focussed on raising the profile of traditional building skills; inspiring young people and also raising their awareness of the career opportunities which are available in this field. I am sure that you will enjoy the event and I would be delighted to welcome you and help us to make the event a success.  \n
