The Winter Treat is becoming an annual event for the pupils and staff at Queen Victoria School. But what is the Winter Treat?
The Winter Treat is a social night for all the local elderly residence of Dunblane, Bridge Of Allan and some people travelled from Stirling to come to this event. To say it is a small event is a push, over 100 residence showed up to listen to Skelpit Lug playing a two part show of traditional scottish songs and songs from further abroad include some French influenced tunes. Not onlt was Skelpit Lug there but also QVS's own Pipers and Dancers put on a 20 minutes sessions including a 6-step Fling and a new and improved broadswords.
The night was a huge succes with pupils and guests both agreeing that is was a very enjoyable night and the majority of the pupils who took part, if not all of them, came back from the eent feeling happy and feel they genuinly made a difference as for some of the residence this is their only social event they can get out to in the year.
The night was concluded by a raffle thanks to kind donations from staff. A few QVS pupils did win but were kind enough to not accept the prize and leave it purely for the guests... no that it took a little persuasion to put it back ;)
