+## Annual Collogue, 8t June: _Scots in Education_
+
+We will be holding our Annual Collogue on Saturday the 8th of June!
+
+The venue will be the Sandeman Room in the AK Bell Library, Perth. It will run
+from 9.30am until 5pm.
+
+Our theme this year will be _Scots in Education_. This is especially topical
+this year, given the opening of the first teacher training programme relating to
+teaching the Scots language. We are excited to welcome a variety of excellent
+speakers to give us their thoughts on this important topic!
+
+In addition, we look forward to having winners from this year’s Sangschaw
+competition read their works.
+
+We will be releasing the full programme of events very soon. In the meantime,
+get it in your diaries!
+
+## Sangschaw 2024 winners announced
+
+As detailed in [our previous news post](/en-GB/news/2024-03-25-sangschaw-winners),
+we have announced the winners of the 2024 Sangschaw. Our congratulations to all
+the winners, and to everyone that submitted. The quality was higher than ever
+before according to our editor, Wullie, and there were more submissions than
+ever before, so we all have something to be pleased about!
+
+## Album release: _LEID_
+
+We said in our previous issue that Wullie was about to release his new album
+with the Bowhill Players: well, if you missed it, the album is out! You can
+listen to it and
+[buy it on Bandcamp](https://thebowhillplayers.bandcamp.com/album/leid) for
+download or as a CD. In this writer’s opinion, it’s not something you want
+to miss!
+
+## Book launch: _Library of Aethers_
+
+The folk singer Alasdair Roberts will be in conversation with Wullie Hershaw
+about his new book, _Library of Aethers_, a collection from his fine and diverse
+lyric book. It includes over 70 original texts from his youth until the present,
+and translations into Portuguese, Gaelic, and, of course, Scots.
+
+The event will be in Kirkcaldy on Friday the 19th of April. You can buy
+[tickets to the book launch online](https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/kirkcaldy/the-kitchen-treasury/library-of-aethers-book-launch-w-alasdair-roberts-and-william-hershaw/e-jbxzld).
+
+## SPL pamphlet fair
+
+We will be one of many stalls at the
+[Scottish Poetry Library Pamphlet Fair](https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/spl-pamphlet-fair-2023/)
+in Edinburgh on Saturday the 27th of April. Entry is free, 11am til 3pm at the
+Scottish Poetry Library on Crichton Street.
+
+## Scottish Languages Bill
+
+The Scottish Languages Bill continues to saunter its way through the legislative
+process. The Society has submitted its contribution to the public consultation
+which will be considered by the
+[Parliamentary Education Committee](https://www.parliament.scot/chamber-and-committees/committees/current-and-previous-committees/session-6-education-children-and-young-people-committee).
+
+We have expressed our support for the principles of the Bill, in particular that
+Scots must be recognised as an official language of Scotland. We are mindful of
+the diverse situations of Scots and Gaelic and have expressed our concern that
+they are not treated in the same way.
+
+We hope to publish our entire submission to the Education Committee in
+due course.
+
+Meanwhile, we hope that the Education Committee will consider our submission and
+will consider calling us to present evidence in person.
