Raith of Kirkcaldy

RAITH PROBUS CLUB 2024/25
The Probus Club movement was formed in the United Kingdom in 1965.  A Probus club is a local association of retired and semi-retired professional and business people and others who have had some measure of responsibility in any field of worthy endeavour, who are of character and respected in their communities. Clubs meet regularly for fellowship and an extension of their interests.  The name is an amalgam of the abbreviation of the words professional and business.  Each Probus club is autonomous.  There is no central organisation and each club sets its own rules.  New members welcome.

It was agreed to investigate the setting up of this and to consult Alan Morton.

Purchase of Camera for use of Walking Group.

Advised to use mobile phone camera. Discussion to continue at a future meeting.

Purchase of New Laptop.

The present laptop has been causing some problems recently. Jim Neilson presented the committee with a number of options. It was agreed that a refurbished Samsung (Take a Laptop Home) be purchased at a cost of £325. There will be an additional cost of £25 for Microsoft Office.

The present laptop will be cleared (consultation with Alan Morton) and disposed of, perhaps to a charity.

Member Interaction.

It was reported that a new member had resigned because of unfriendliness and cliques he experienced. He has since been persuaded to return. In future, guests and new members should be introduced to the President and Vice-President prior to the start of the meeting proper.

Members should be encouraged to approach others who might be sitting alone and more information should be given to the meeting when new members are introduced.

Members are again requested not to cluster in groups round the coffee tables.

Douglas Hamill BEM.

Officials’/Conveners’ Duties.

Storage.

If anyone had any items which more properly should be deposited with our collection at Fife Council Archives, they should inform our Officials.

Ownership of Base Documents.

These include Constitution, Membership Record, Completed Application Forms, Membership List. It is not clear who holds these. Data Protection also requires that a record of who holds information on members and what information is held. Vice-President is to consult with President and Robin McAlpine on this matter to come up with a simple solution.

Bereavement.

Under AOCB today Charlie Low will present an addition to the constitution to deal with this and how we will proceed.

Stewart Michie.

Stewart Michie rejoined but has not attended since. Vice-President will investigate.

Pyramid Download Member Information System. It was agreed that, on the next occasion this has to be used, the Secretary would send out the information by email using his distribution list and that the four members with no email would be contacted by phone. The arrangement would then be reviewed.

SPEAKER.  The speaker Joe Fitzpatrick was introduced by Jack Lowther; the topic ‘Archaeological discoveries on East Lomond’.

Joe gave an excellent talk on the ongoing archaeological dig on East Lomond. Some of the finds and information deduced from them has yet to be published but all the time it is throwing light on the importance of East Lomond as a centre of continuous occupation and metalwork. Finds from a Bull-stone which indicated power to Melon Beads and Roman pottery suggesting Trade with Rome have been found.

Digging has revealed evidence of furnaces for jewellery and weapons making and more is revealed at every level down the dig. A door knob spear butt found last year is only the second found in Scotland.

The talk was very well illustrated and surprised most members as to how important East Lomond had been for millennia, being one of, if not the most important sites in the East of Scotland during the 7th century.

Members were invited to go to East Lomond in July to help when the dig restarts.

 

Bottom of Form

The Vote of Thanks was given by Ragnar Ingebrigtsen.

Next Meeting – 6th May, Keith Mason – Kirkcaldy/Leven Trams. VOT Tom Reilly.

RAITH PROBUS CLUB OF KIRKCALDY

 

                              25 April 2025  Easter Snooker – Challenge

Raith Probus snooker contestants entered the Arena at Styx in Kirkcaldy on 25th April 2025 for the Easter Egg challenge.

A simple task for the session.

Seven members present with the winner over the whole session to achieve the highest break on the day.

Ken Campbell put the other competitors under immediate pressure in minutes with a commanding score of 11.

The day developed with various descriptive cheers and comments in a foreign language of Bistardo following another miss.

On table one a threesome was in play trying to pot a red sitting within the jaws of a corner pocket.

Yes, three attempts by the players involved who failed miserably to increase their score.

Our Vice President calmly with cue in hand showed the way on the fourth attempt to pot the red ball to great acclaim

 We had to wait until almost the end of the session when a resounding cheer echoed through the building.

 

After almost two hours and within the last 5 minutes we had our worthy winner with a great break score on the day of 17,

 

Ken Miller.

 

 

Bowls

Jack Lowther:  showed the trophy he won in the Probus Invitation Indoor Bowls championship which is competed for by clubs from Perth and Fife. The downside is that as he claims he got carried away in the heat of competition and won, so now he has to organise next year’s competition.

Kirkcaldy War Memorial

Kirkcaldy Museum, Art Gallery and Public Library and the surrounding gardens. A cenotaph with the dedication and a wall with plaques of names fronts the museum building. The buildings and garden were bequeathed to the town of Kirkcaldy as a war memorial by linoleum manufacturer John Nairn in memory of his son, Ian Nairn.

The War Memorial was paid for by the people of the town and was designed by Scottish sculptor George Henry Paulin (1888-1962).

The War Memorial opening ceremony On 27th June 2025 was attended by Admiral of The Fleet – Lord Webster Wemyss GCB; CMG; MVD

This focal point in the town will be 100 years old in 2025

The Royal British Legion Scotland, working with Fife Council, On Fife, Kirkcaldy Civic Society and other partners, are organising a number of activities to be announced starting from April 2025.

A major part of the arrangement is to engage the community to help “dress” the War Memorial with a cascade of poppies.

The Royal British Legion Scotland are asking individuals and organisations to help produce at least 1,500 poppies- the number of war dead listed.

Kirkcaldy’s Men Shed have agreed to dress Kirkcaldy War Memorial with the poppies.

SPEAKER:  John Hamiton who’s talk will be ’Canals; A Miscellany’ replaces the advertised speaker Lawrie Brewster.  John was introduced by Charlie Low.

John, as usual gave a clear and well researched talk, beginning with the canals of Scotland before moving on to those in England and Wales and eventually some of the more interesting canals and structures around the world.

John spoke first about the canals of Scotland, the first being the Forth/Clyde Canal in 1791 followed by the Crinan in 1801, the Caledonian in 1822 and the Edinburgh/Glasgow Union in 1823. He emphasised that many of these canals were built too late because they were not long in service before developments in shipping made them obsolete, although they can now be used for leisure.

Many examples of innovative ways of overcoming problems encountered by canal builders were given e.g. aqueducts and some very impressive lifting mechanisms were shown.

John had been on several canals himself and it made for very interesting presentation invoking several questions.

Michael Bruce poem below.

Virtue and Happiness in the Country

How blest the man who, in these peaceful plains,
Ploughs his paternal field; far from the noise,
The care, and bustle of a busy world!
All in the sacred, sweet, sequester’d vale
Of solitude, the secret primrose-path
Of rural life, he dwells; and with him dwell
