Workshop to advise on donkey care

Advice will include on when to call out a vet and basic first aid

A free workshop on how to look after donkeys is to be held by an animal welfare charity at an event in Drumnadrochit, near Loch Ness.

The Craigmonie Centre will host the class by Devon-based The Donkey Sanctuary on 27 April.

Similar donkey care workshops throughout the UK and Ireland are also planned.

Advice will be offered on dental care, warning signs for when to call for a vet and basic first aid.

Heather Ross, of the sanctuary's welfare and advice team, said: "It's a great opportunity to challenge your thinking, boost your donkey knowledge and meet like-minded people."

These workshop are free to attend, however places are limited so early booking is advisable. Simply contact the Welfare & Advice Team today on 01395 578222 for more details and to book your place or email heather.ross@thedonkeysanctuary.com

Merengue is part of Dominican Republic folklore, lively and joyful dance written in 4/4 time and because we move in every beat, we count them 1,2 and 1,2. Therefore the sequences are just two steps, transfering the weight on each step, which make it very easy to dance.

February 5th through 26th 2008

Salsa - its back

March 4th to 18th 2008

Cha-Cha is the newcomer of the Latin American dances. This dance was first seen in the dance-halls of America, in the early fifties, following closely Mambo, from which it was developed. Shortly after the Mambo was introduced, another rhythm started to gain popularity, a rhythm that was ultimately to become the most commonly known of the Latin American dances throughout the world. It was named Cha-Cha. The music is slower than Mambo and the rhythm is less complicated. The interpretation of Cha-Cha music should produce a happy, carefree, cheeky, party-time-like atmosphere.

Each lesson is £5 Adults / £1 Under 16 (must be accompanied by an adult)
