All of these pictures first appeared in the pages of our newspaper, the Glenrothes Gazette, in 1988.

They feature some of the events and presentations staged during that summer across the town.

July 1988 saw a big cheque handed over at Markinch Bowling Club to the National Association for Colitis and Crohn’s Disease. It was raised via a sponsored walk. Making the presentation is Mrs Gillian Hamer-Hodges (right) to Mrs Christine Munro, with some of the walkers in the background Picture taken by Robert Mackie, freelance photographer, Kirkcaldy.
