P lease allow us to introduce to you Bertram (Bert) Aitchison,
one of our activity breaks much loved tutors. A man of many parts
and places, Bert is currently the visiting speaker on Art History at
Higham Hall in Cumbria.
Bertramn
Hero to the cause, Bert runs three art history breaks at the Green Park. Guests
this year have been able to choose from ’The Art of the Eternal City’, ‘A Journey
Aitchiso
into Scottish Art’ and ‘Art in the Making’. Bert has a loyal band of followers from
Dumfries, so be sure to book early to avoid disappointment.
A lthough a smaller performance space was part of the theatres original 1970’s design of the
new site at Port-na-Craig, financial restrictions meant this particular ambition could not
be realised at the time. But the dream remained and the designated space was held (and used
as a set store) until it became a reality.
The Studio is a home for new expressive art. The space is atmospheric and intimate - so impressive, in
fact, that those sitting in the front row will have their feet on the stage itself.

OUR LATEST BUILDING WORKS
M y dad John was a great one for
his pet building projects, and
we felt that it was high time we had
another one on the go.
The work you see in progress is a bolstering of our
range and quality of staff accommodation. The most
challenging aspect of the work is to not damage Diane’s
treasured monkey tree. I have been informed that it’s
demise would result in me becoming the new staff
