Funds raised will continue the fight towards a polio free world.
“The programme for the evening will start off with local music and then move on to a rendition of Holy Willie's prayer.
“There will be an Introduction by the club president and then an appearance by Burntisland butcher, Tom Courts, who will explain all about haggis.
