Winners of the July draw of the Dairsie War Memorial 200 Club were all local folk. They were: J. Fraser - £20: P.M. Bagnall - £10 and M. Tait - £5.
The weather was kind when a group of ladies from the Church Guild enjoyed an afternoon outing to Kinross House Garden. The setting and layout of the garden was much appreciated, as was the unusual way in which the flowers were presented. They were massed in large displays of a single colour - eye-catching blue in one area, and yellow in another, and so on. After the visit, they went to Dobbies Garden Centre at Kinross for a very welcome afternoon tea.
The last of the July services which were held jointly with St. Johns Church, Cupar, and at which members led the worship, was held on Sunday. The general consensus appears to be, that though a most unusual departure from the customary form of service, it was a welcome venture. From Sunday 7th August, there will be a return to the customary hour long service, which will be conducted this week by the Rev. Graham Blount. Sadly, it is still not possible to serve refreshments in the hall, but estimates are now awaited for the repair, and it is hoped it will not be too long before work can begin.
Planning has begun for the annual coffee morning to be held in the Corn Exchange on Saturday, 27th August, but it is time to begin looking out items for the usual stalls. Home baking will be needed too, and details of when and where to hand in donations will be announced later.
The next meeting of the Community Council is to be in the Memorial Hall on Thursday, 18th August at 7.30pm. The latest news on the various issues affecting the village- traffic calming, speed restrictions, a crossing on the Main Road, new building and any other - are likely to arise at the meeting, so it is hoped for good support then.
There are still a few tickets available for the Barn Dance at Edenbank Farm tomorrow, the 13th. They can be booked by phone to Carol Owen.
Anyone interested in the possibility of helping with Sunday School in Dairsie, please contact the minister, the Rev. Sheila Blount as soon as possible.
This Sunday, 21st August, there will be no service in Dairsie. The Annual "Full Church" service will take place in Ceres Church at 11am - a service of unity between Cupar Old, St. John's, Dairsie, Ceres, Kemback and Springfield Churches.
The annual coffee morning is to be held by Dairsie church in the Corn Exchange, Cupar on Saturday, 27th August at 10am. Donations for all the usual stalls are needed, and can be handed in at the church on Friday, 26th August between 2.30 and 3.30pm, or in the evening between 6.30 and 7.30pm. Home baking especially, but any items for all the usual stalls will be very welcome.
Warm congratulations and every good wish for their continuing happiness, to Andrew and Jean Stevenson, Main Street, Dairsie, whose 50th wedding anniversary was on 10th August. The occasion was celebrated with family, and with friends made over their many happy years together.
