The
Scottish Mensa Annual Gathering
... from 28th to 31st
August 1998... The AG venue this year is Ayr and the theme is "Doon the
watter" a.k.a. "A Trip to the Seaside". There will be all, sorts of events
on offer from a lecture on Robert Burns (how could we miss that out when
the weekend is based in Ayr?) to a sand castle building competition. A
Beach Ball and a Ceilidh are among the evening entertainments. If you would
like to volunteer to help (and what better way could there be for getting
to know your fellow Mensans?!) or for details on how to attend, contact
Rowena M. Love, 16 Yorke Road, TROON, Ayrshire, KAIO 6LB

BRIGHT
SPARKS / SCOTTISH EVENTS
The first Scottish
Bright Sparks Weekend took place in April 1993. This was followed shortly
aferwards in June by the first Midsummer Madness. The Scottish Winter Weekend
was started the next February and since then all these events have been
repeated annually under the collective banner of "Scottish Events".
Enquiries: Jim Kinnell
Bright
Sparks is organised primarily for the benefit of junior Mensans (gifted
children), but the other Scottish Events are enjoyed by Mensans of all
ages.
YOUNG MENSA
(18-30yrs or anyone that feels they belong to
this group!)
- Meetings are held in various areas around Britain
THE
SCOTTISH MENSA COMMITTEE
The Scottish Mensa Committee was officially de-recognised in January 1998,
after a period of persistent problems and difficult-to-justify administrative
expenditures. Scottish Mensa is now organised via the Scottish Groups Officer,
Jim Kinnell.
