However, people are welcome to get involved and help out and if anyone wants to help they should contact the committee on civicweekenquiries@outlook.com or message them via Facebook.

Things really get going with the Tea Dance at the Cowdenbeath Palais De Danse being held at Beath High Community Use

from 2.00 to 4.00pm.

Said Committee secretary Claire Morgan: "Following the success of last year we decided to hold this event again which will remind people of the Palais which was the top night spot in Cowdenbeath.

"Live music, an afternoon tea, dancing and a sing song. Tickets are £2 and are on sale now from Precious Events/Lucie Sue Gifts and Barnardos on Cowdenbeath High Street. To make a group booking please contact civicweekenquiries@outlook.com"

The Care Home/Sheltered Housing Visits will take place again this year and these always prove highly successful.
