Kingsbarns History Project - Meeting - Monday 5 December, 7.00pm in Village Hall - all welcome

Come to this open group meeting if you would like to become involved in, or know more about, this community council supported 'History of Kingsbarns' project - the form of which is yet to be decided.

According to co-ordinater Ian Smith:

"It is proposed that a history of Kingsbarns be compiled, covering the key developments in the village and the surrounding farms and estates. The main perspective would be to look at the social history of the village, with particular features on the school and kirk (and on the golf course), although there would also be coverage of the changing patterns of employment in the area. It is intended to utilise material from villagers past and present to enliven the end product with the inclusion of anecdotes and 'stories' and similar use will be made of photographs and manuscripts etc. The resultant publication should help to further increase knowledge about, and the reputation of, the village, while also having educational value by involving the current school pupils."

Protect Rural East Fife - Public Meeting - Cupar Corn Exchange - Thur 24 Nov 2005 - 7.30pm

"Dear Kingsbarns Village residents,

"Just to let you know that there will be a Public Meeting at the Cupar Corn Exchange on Thursday 24th November 2005 at. 7.30p.m., at which two short presentations will be made on our shared concerns over the NE Fife Draft Local Plan. One will be a powerpoint presentation highlighting the key issues, the other a series of points concerning these issues.

"This will be followed by questions from the public to a panel of five Fife MSPs.

"The previous day Tayport Local Plan Action Group (TLPAG) will have presented a validated petition to Parliament, with over 1,000 signatures from the town, asking for the legislation which governs Local Plans to be reviewed in order to ensure that inadequate public facilities and infrastructure are upgraded prior to any further housing development.

"You are all very welcome to this Public Meeting - the more voices the better!"

Fionn Stevenson, Chairperson of TLPAG
