Aim:

To encourage the development of personal interest and practical skills.

Requirements:

Skill should be undertaken for a minimum of an hour each week.

You may choose an activity you already follow or a new one. The Skill can only be changed during the activity period if circumstances dictate.

You must show individual progress and sustained interest over the time required.

To help you find a programme of activity appropriate to your knowledge and experience, all Skill programmes are divided into sections:

-          Beginners

-          Those with some knowledge

-          The more advanced

There is no need for you to be limited to one part of the programme only; a broad or restricted aspect may be chosen.

There are many different types of activites you could do for your Skill (in fact too numerous to list here, so see the Skills Programmes for ideas) however they fall roughly into the following categories:
