Community spirit in the East Neuk village of Kingsbarns has helped to launch a local youth club.

The club meets every Tuesday evening in the Memorial Hall and offers two sessions of activities to youngsters.

The first session from 6.30 to 8 pm caters for the P4 to P7 age group, while the 8 to 9.30 pm session is for S1 upwards.

Club secretary Main Robertson said, "The young people of the village have been instrumental in getting the club restarted and have been extremely enthusiastic about suggesting activities in which they would like to get involved.

“The Kingsbarns Youth Club’s steering group would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped to get the club up and running. Particular thanks go to those who have donated cash, games and, of course, those who offered their services as youth club leaders.”

The annual membership is £1 per person, while an entrance fee of £1 is payable for each night attended.

The club’s venue, the Memorial Hall, re-opened a few months ago after a £128,500 boost from the National Charities Lottery Board allowed a renovation programme, which has seen the roof replaced, a new heating system fitted, and the addition of facilities for the disabled.
