August Round-Up
We had lots of fun with trips to see shows at the Fringe, storytelling at the book festival and even met the Gruffalo! It was also great to go on a couple of trips with families to Liberton fire station and our thanks go to the fire crew who looked after us so well. New families joined our Antenatal and First Aid workshops and came along to join us for Dads in the Wood and Playgroup in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Dads Rock Academy started the new term on Tuesday 28th August but there’s still a few places for families who’d like to learn bass, drums, guitar or vocals - young people (aged 8+) and grown ups can come along to learn the same instrument, or different ones, or just come on their own. You can find out more about that and watch our video here: DRA
