Member Benefits
There are many benefits to joining the Wire Branch
- Discount on monthly workshops, now being held online via Zoom. The Wire Branch has maintained a regular series of workshops in Edinburgh since the branch was founded in 2000. These happen on Sunday afternoons, roughly each month during school term times. Workshops, taught by Bill Taylor, run 75 min. for elementary and intermediate levels. Members are invited to purchase a block of workshops at a price of £10/session. Otherwise, members pay £13 for individual sessions. The price to non-branch members is £15/session.
