Kirkcolm Primary was delighted to have a visit from Wendy Cuff and her team who were out and about to promote the Skiffie World Championships that are due to take place in Stranraer from the 7-13th<\/sup> of July 2019.<\/p>\n

Our visitors explained to us a little bit about the history of the Skiff and how it was made. The children were fascinated to learn that the boat was only made by hand from glue and wood. Pupils were given a chance to sit inside the boat where they were given a quick lesson on how to row.<\/p>\n

Huge thank you to our visitors, we can\u2019t wait to come and join in on the fun during the festival.<\/p>\n
