COVID-19 STATEMENT TO OUR STUDENTS

We wanted to update you about how the current virus developments in Scotland have impacted us and our business here at Solas and what we plan to do about it.

 Due to government guidelines our host venue the Falkirk wheel has suspended all group activities and meetings until further notice.  This means that unfortunately we have postponed our planned workshops.

 Our aim is to reschedule these dates as soon as the situation gets back to normal or near normal.  We will obviously honour your vouchers for any of the postponed dates and would love to see you there.

 With the rapid changes to the situation every day it isn’t possible to confirm these new dates right now, but we will be back in touch as soon as we have.

 In an effort to show our thanks for supporting us and to keep you inspired we are looking into the possibility of running some live Solas workshops that you would be able to log into and watch or participate in.  If this is something you would be interested in then please let us know, it would be completely free and would not in any way to affect your voucher validity.

 We understand that this is as disappointing to you as it is to us but your health and the greater good of our wonderful country means that we need to be responsible with our actions and decisions.

 If you are happy for your booking to be carried forward to one or the new dates, then please confirm by e-mail.  If this does not suit, then please get in touch and we would be happy to discuss it with you.

 Please bear with us through this challenging and changeable time and we will do our best to keep you as up to date as we are.

 Stay safe, be careful but don’t stop being creative.

 Jamie and Peter
