More than 20 local groups have signed up to set out their stalls at the Primary School.

Come along and see some of the wide range of organisations and activities in the town that you can take part in or help with.

The event has been organised by the Burntisland Community Development Trust, which is also planning a Christmas Street Party in the High Street again this year.

It looks as though the Community Council will soon have all 15 seats filled. This has not been the position for many years. Recently the CC has only had 10 members, but 13 people filled in nomination forms. They will automatically become CC members (because there weren’t more nominations than seats), in addition two more people are hoping to be co-opted.

Two of the new members are teenagers (it’s possible to be a CC member at 16), they are both involved in Burntisland Youth Action. They are keen on various things for improving Burntisland including lighting on the main path through the Links, more bins (especially over the summer) and an outdoor gym.

The first meeting of the next 4 years (until the next election) is on October 12th.

Until recently the ‘satellite view’ of Burntisland included the large orange patch of the Alcan Works. The new images include the latest new industry – the Scott pallet factory in the docks.

Google’s Streetview cars haven’t caught up with the latest new housing.

Work has begun to convert the much loved Potter About into (watch this space for details!).

It is expected to be open for coffee in November.

Today’s photo reveals what came before Potter About.

Earlier this year BiFab was bought by Canadian east coast company DF Barnes

Now Briggs Marine has bought three companies from the west.

“The Briggs Group are delighted to announce it has recently acquired a consortia of three marine companies in Canada. The Companies; Foreshore Technologies, Balanced Environmental and Ocean Tech are based in North Vancouver, British Columbia and have been trading for 25 years.”
