THE latest event that has become a victim of the Covid-19 pandemic is the Cardenden Village Fair.

The organising committee made the decision to cancel the event around the same time as the Bowhill Highland Games committee put their historic day off.

As a member of the Cardenden Village Fair committee said: "Unfortunately this year's Fair has been cancelled this year due to the state of the virus, the only decision that could be made in the circumstances."

Over the years the event at Wallsgreen Park has attracted in excess of 2,000 people and in the current situation that sort of event cannot be held.

It is normally the weather that the committee has to dodge but 2020 has brought a new problem.
