Last year (2014) myself and a few friends went to a charity disco/dance in the bowling club (tickets £5).

There were two discos with music from different eras.

What a mixture of folk, from 16 to 70 to 80s, all up disco dancing. But the lovely thing was that 16 and 17-year-olds were sitting and really talking to the elderly. They were all enjoying themselves - there seemed to be no ‘age barrier’.

Probably at a ‘disco’ you felt you did not need a partner. The bowling club was full both times.

So can anyone tell me, when suggestions of ‘Helping Cowdenbeath’ in its state, that no one group or club doesn’t make this a regular thing.

People come from outside Cowdenbeath too with so many telling us - they looked forward to this ageless disco - because there was no other dance or freedom available, before in Cowdenbeath.

So can I suggest charities, and even Broad Street Bowling Club itself - consider doing a ‘monthly open-age disco’.

It would invite people into the town, and also help those who wouldn’t consider going out on town as nothing ‘on in town’ to go to.

It would give Cowdenbeath a focus, in a small way, but more so to give so much enjoyment to all who attended.

Everyone (16-50 years) let their hair down, and all we spoke to ‘assumed’ it was going to be a regular ‘date’.

So what about it? It doesn’t have to be the same charity. Surely anyone can organise this for funds for their group/club?

And let many, many look forward to something they have never had in a long, long time.

That is to be able to look forward to a great night out, even if only themselves. Everyone seemed to ‘share’ with everyone. Its the only time I’ve seen ‘ages’ overlap so verbally and it is also a good thing, in the sense of ‘helping the lonely’ and those alone, who cannot get out, unless something like this disco occurs.

We love the Scots Night - but this was an entirely different scene. Nostalgia for the elderly and fun for the young - all enjoying it.

Come on - everyone! Talk about adding an improvement to Cowdenbeath’s social life. This is a ‘quick’ deed, and so many including organisers, would gain from it.
