Chairman’s Report
The Management Committee is currently negotiating a lease with Fife
Council for the three buildings.
At the same time, we are moving forward with the help of Fife
Rural Partnership and VONEF to charitable status and becoming a
company limited by guarantee.
This all sounds very technical but in essence, we are putting
the building blocks in place to ensure that the three buildings and
what goes on in them is run for the community by the community.
Over the last twelve months, your Management Committee has invested
in new blinds for the Erskine Hall and Meeting Room in the Town
Hall, repainted the coffee bar area in the East Neuk Centre and the
Burgh Chambers in the Town Hall.
We have acquired a new pool table and invested in a Nintendo
WII for our young people.
We have purchased new round tables for the Town Hall as well
as new crockery and tea making equipment. This will enable us to
offer better facilities to wedding and other functions as well as
small conferences.
We have also supported the 5 aside football with new kit. We
have done away with the old vending machine and purchased two new
fridges in the East Neuk Centre. We continue to invest in upgrading
the coffee bar area in the Centre to make it more appealing to young
people and to develop more of a youth café.
We have continued to support the Busybodies with new craft
material. In the long term we are looking at the practicalities of
acquiring a Centre mini bus and re-flooring the games hall in the
Centre.
If our Community Centre is to be truly run by the Community, then it
does need a vibrant and forward thinking Management Committee.
New faces with new ideas are always very welcome.
If you use the Centre and feel that you can make a positive
contribution, then please consider becoming nominated to the
Management Committee. The commitment is not onerous, one meeting per
month plus your enthusiasm and desire to make our Community Centre
work for everyone.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff
associated with the Centre for their dedication and hard work. Every
one of them willingly goes that bit further to help make our
Community Centre what it is today. I would also like to thank every
member of the Management Committee who voluntarily give up their
precious personal time for the Centre.
Martin Dibley
Chairperson
Community Education Worker
It has been a quick and eventful year for me, or so it seems, as we
now find ourselves in June with the Annual General Meeting.
Since our last Annual Meeting we have some new members of staff in
post, Iain Cobain Caretaker/cleaner, John Coles Caretaker/Cleaner
and a new colleague for me, Gordon Forbes Community Education
Worker.
Since Christmas 2008, Lindsey Brown has covered most of the Youth
Work Supervision and will give her report on youth matters.
We have spent some time over the last year providing training for
staff to bring them up to standard on cleaning methods,
Health/Safety, Food/Hygiene, Youth work and have had a number of
staff meetings. I know that these measures have made a difference,
not only to the appearance of the buildings but also the programme
and events.
The committee have also faced a number of challenges and have
supported myself and Lindsey with a number of changes needed to move
the complex forward in a progressive and positive way. The committee
is very near to signing a lease on the properties when they will be
responsible for managing and developing the buildings on behalf of
the East Neuk Communities.
The committee also approved the decoration of the East Neuk Centre
and the refresh of the Burgh Chambers : this has improved the
building, bringing it ‘up to scratch’ and more pleasant to use. We
hope these improvements will continue over the years to come so that
the community can take a pride in their buildings.
The buildings continue to be well used for a range of users no
matter their age or abilities; we have also seen an increase over
the last year in both individual users and groups. The income from
this will now be managed by the Committee for the benefit of local
users and it is a constant duty of the Committee to maintain the
premises to as high a standard as possible so that they will
continue to be used by members of the community.
This year, a Community Education student, on placement from
I continue to support other groups and individuals in the East Neuk
Area with grant applications, constitutions etc.
THE FUTURE
I am looking forward to the lease being signed and the Committee
being in receipt of their annual grant and the Committee Members
themselves moving on to become good custodians of these community
facilities. We need to develop a good, robust membership system. We
could do with more Committee Members in general, more youth members
and one or two men. Any volunteers welcome! We need to maintain good
standards of service to users and members of the community.

Karen Peebles, one of our Community Learning & Development
Workers is leaving us at the summer break.
Karen has been with us for 10 years and has helped to develop
the Learning Centre from only 3 computer courses running along with
Open Access sessions in a small room at the East Neuk Centre with 8
computers to what it is now.
Karen has had to develop her own learning in order to achieve this
by completing courses in ECDL, ECDL Advanced, BIM, HNC AIM, Diploma
IAM, PDA in Teaching in Further Education and Advanced PDA Diploma
in Teaching in Further Education.
Karen will be greatly missed by her sister Rhona who has worked
alongside her for the last 10 years and all her fellow students.
We wish Karen all the best with whatever she decides to do in
the future.

Youth Work
The following is a resume of the activities of Groups and Clubs
based at the Centre Complex
Lindsey Brown
I-Roll
Over the last year, the number of young people attending I-Roll has
increased and we now have around fifteen members attending on a
regular basis.
We have bought skate ramps and rails which were chosen by members of
the group and they use these each week to practice and improve their
skills. The guys have
painted the ramps and decorated them to their own taste with
stencils and spray paint. We also spent a few weeks making stencils
and personalising their boards with the designs.
The outing to the Factory in
Over the next few months we plan to carry out a fundraising event to
raise more funds for the group to allow us to design and buy hoodies
for each member and to cover the cost of further outings and events.
Monday Drop In
(Anstruther Healthy Choices
Club)
The Monday night is proving to be a popular one, with eighteen
regulars attending. We
focus on fitness and healthy eating.
We have also used this night as a training night for the football
team and for boxing training which the local police have arranged to
teach the youths self discipline and really raise their fitness
levels.
We also have a youth café with healthy options for snack and have a
funding application in for money to support the café and put a few
of the youths on a food and hygiene course to enable them to run the
café side themselves.
This group is also planning a summer outing to the Edinburgh Dungeon
as they feel they deserve it after all their hard work!!!!.
Music Group
The Group has now been running for just over three months and has a
small but strong core attendance of around eight members.
The members use the two hour session to get together as a band and
practice. This has allowed them to improve on their skills, enabling
them to take part in the
The Group hope to organise and carry out a fundraising event in the
near future to allow them to purchase a bass guitar and amps which
they can use when coming to the session and also CD’s for use with
the mixing decks. We also
hope to visit the music studio and rehearsal rooms in
Wednesday Drop In
(Anstruther Youth
Information Club)
We have around twelve youths attending this Drop In each week from
7pm-9pm.
As well as all the usual activities and facilities that are
available to all the clubs in the Centre, we focus more on the
educational aspects for this club. Youth Workers are available to
speak with the youths about what they are doing in the school and
what they would like to do in the future. Youth workers are
available to chat about the different courses that are available at
the
Going forward, we are waiting to receiving information about the
courses that Elmwood College can offer our youths and make this
available along with the information we have available from Adam
Smith College to give the youths more choice and variety.
Football Project
The Football Club Runs on a Thursday night and is made up of five–a
-side teams of local youths who play against our local police.
This has been a huge success, not only for the exercise these
young people are getting but also for the relationship which has
been built up between the police and the community: this has been
commented on by all concerned.
The police decided to challenge the local youths to come along and
try and beat them! This got many of the local boys taking it so
seriously that they started going out training and also giving up
smoking (at least trying)!
We have a team at the Centre made up of seven lads who attend
regularly and have really risen to the challenge. This began by us
having a meeting and discussing our tactics which they decided would
be discipline, training and team building.
These boys have put in a huge effort to keep themselves focused and
this has reflected on their school performance. As the boys have
been attending the Centre and football sessions, we have been
keeping written and
photographic evidence of the challenges they have risen to and we
have taken this forward in the form of a Youth Achievement
Award. The boys have just about completed their bronze award!
We would like to thank the Community Safety Panel for giving us the
money to buy tops for the boys, the Locality Manager Fiona Mitchell
for helping with the hire of the sports hall, and the police team
for being such good sports with all the local teams (when we know
this was not always easy) - and we will beat you next season!!!!.
Busybodies
In the last year, membership has increased from between 10 – 15
members to 15 – 20. The
children take part in games and arts and crafts and they are being
introduced to healthy eating.
We are in the process of organising an evening just before
the summer break that the parents can attend and see exactly what
the children get involved in at the club.
The children have drawn pictures and made items to go on
display on the evening and we are hoping to sell teas and coffees on
the night to raise funds for the Club.
We are also organising a barbeque for the children on the
last session before the summer break.
We also organise activities around any special dates e.g. Mother’s
Day and Valentine’s Day, where the children get the chance to either
make cards or decorate cakes.
We have designed programmes for each session with the
involvement of the children which includes games that the children
have said are their favourites.
The children have also been given the chance to prepare their
own snack for a session which they thoroughly enjoyed and this is
something we will do in the future.
We have been able to purchase new arts and craft equipment
and this has made a great difference to the programme as it enables
all the children to participate in making things.
As the ages of the children are mixed, this does make a
difference.
We are hoping that with the lighter nights and better weather, we
can get the children involved in more outdoor activities.
Friday Night Drop In
The number of youths attending this Drop In does vary from week to
week. We have a core group
of about twelve youths that come along on a regular basis and a
further ten that come intermittently.
Friday is one of the more chilled, unplanned nights that we have in
the Centre and runs later into the evening, until 10pm. The youths
have made up their own programme of activities which are carried out
on Friday evenings. The youths enjoy a relaxed, friendly place to
socialise with peers as well as having access to Youth Workers who
are on hand, available to chat and give information and advice on
different health and social matters that they choose to discuss.
During the last year we have held a number of discos and band nights
for the youths on Fridays which have been well attended and enjoyed.
Over the coming months, we hope to use the new music equipment that
we are purchasing to allow the youths to organise and carry out
their own music nights. We also hope to arrange further band nights
and plan to get together for the youths to organise an outing for
all the group to attend.

The following are Reports from some of the Groups, Clubs and
Associations which use the Complex on a regular basis.
Over 60’s Exercise Class
My Over 6o’s Exercise Class on a Thursday morning in the Anstruther
Town Hall is still as successful as ever.
It will be fourteen years old in September and has, on
average, forty men and women per week.
Valery Jamieson
_____________________
Yoga
It has proved to be another great year for the classes.
The Gentle Class appreciates the warm, comfortable
environment that is provided for our therapeutic work and the main
class, the wonderful space in which to work.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved at
the Centre with ensuring the groups’ needs are met, particularly the
hall keepers Danny and Ian who consistently provide a friendly
approach and go out of their way to be helpful.
Alison Genet
____________________
Judo
This year, over the thirty classes, an average of nine youngsters
have attended. It has
been a small class of very keen juidoka, plenty of enthusiasm and
good fun.
They have all been graded at least once during the year and most of
them will move up to another coloured belt not long after we return
from the summer break on 2nd September 2009.
Alec Rodger
____________________
We have had another busy year.
We were lucky enough to receive extra funding this year to start a
new Club :- ‘10 – 14.’
This is always a difficult age group to encourage to attend
after-school care.
Although the Club has not been that successful, the funding has
given a financial boost to our regular Club, allowing us to go on
lots of varied trips including the Zoo, the Safari Park, the Deer
Centre, the Falkirk Wheel and the Secret Bunker.
It has also allowed us to buy new equipment, including
computers and a wii.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supports
the Club, parents, staff and the Management Committee.
Our Club is a great asset to the community and continues to allow
parents the opportunity to work and study.
Susan Mackie
Club Co-ordinator

Ladies Badminton Group
We are a group of ladies who meet on Monday afternoons at the Centre
for two hours badminton.
Our total number is fourteen but we usually have around eight
to ten attending on any given day.
(That is plenty when there is only one court.)
Most of our members are retired and all enjoy the opportunity to
have some exercise and meet friends in a pleasant setting which is
convenient. We play
from late September until around Easter when outside pursuits take
over.

Group Treasurer

Dance classes are held in the Town Hall on Tuesdays (8 to
17 yrs) and Thursdays (3 to 7yrs). The School provides - RAD Ballet
and ISTD Tap and Modern Jazz.
In the autumn, we had a trip to see the musical “Mary Poppins”,
which was thoroughly enjoyed by all, very different form the film,
and we thought better.
This story then became our inspiration for our biannual dance
display. Our next trip
will hopefully be to see
“The Sound of Music”.
The main focus this year has been our Biannual Show.
We had some fund raising events towards the cost of costumes:
a Body Shop Party in November and a
New Classes : We’ve started a Junior Singing class with the teacher
Sarah Wood and after the summer, we’re starting a Drama Club for S1
to S6, with Nicky Ledger.
We are also looking at providing Scottish Highland Dancing
with Joyce Anderson.
This will depend on demand and a suitable venue.
I also hold classes in Crail on Mondays and Fridays and St Monans on
Wednesdays, so if anyone else would like to join us, you are more
than welome.

“Adult
Keep Fit Class”
Tuesdays 9.45 to 10.45 at the Town Hall
This is a general fitness class (aerobic and toning exercises) which
works the whole body. There is a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and
the class is focused on exercising to each individual’s ability.
The class is done to music and we’ve had a 70’s/80’s theme this
term, which seems to be popular.
In March, we used the Town Hall instead of the East Neuk Centre, and
asked if we could stay as the Hall has more space and the wooden
floor is a little kinder on the joints!
We’ve welcomed a few new faces this year and if anyone else would
wish to join us, the class starts up again for a 10 week block in
September.
(Fife Style discounts apply.)
Claire Griffin
(Tutor)
P.S I also hold another adult education fitness class, “Line
Dancing” in St Monans; which is also a lot of fun too.

Alzheimer
Our group have been using your facilities for approximately one
year, supporting some ten individuals.
During this time we have offered a variety of activities for people
experiencing difficulties as a result of dementia. The object is to
provide opportunities to engage in activities ranging from art
projects, memory games, reminiscing and to enjoy socialising in a
relaxed and informal environment.
We have found the venue to be particularly suitable for the group in
a number of important ways.
It is warm, comfortable, spacious and well-lit. The catering
facilities allow us to accommodate individual needs for teas,
coffees and soft drinks as required. Whilst these are important, the
most significant aspect for ourselves, the organisers of the group,
is the extremely welcoming and accepting attitude of the centre
staff . All staff who have been present in the centre during our
meetings on Wednesdays clearly go "the extra mile" to involve
and interact with our group members. And in doing so help all who
attend to feel included and part of the local community and not
merely service users in receipt of any segregated provision. This,
we believe, does much to maintain their dignity and general
wellbeing.
To conclude I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of
Alzheimer

Pilates Classes
It is hard to believe that it is four years now that the PILATES
classes have been running at the East Neuk Centre in Ladywalk,
Anstruther.
There are currently 2 PILATES classes held on Friday mornings.
A Beginners Class and a Beginners Plus Class. Both the
classes have had a good year. The Beginners Plus class is for those
attending PILATES who have some experience in Pilates exercise and I
am very pleased to report that we have many ongoing participants to
this class.
The Beginners Class has grown from strength to strength since
January. The numbers have increased and it is almost full. I have
done no additional advertising since August last year so can only
assume that the increase in numbers has been due to word of mouth.
The classes following the usual school term times. We enjoy a good
social catch up during the term but in particular we enjoy our end
of term get- together over coffee.
One of the highlight of the past year has been our annual CHARITY
PILATES CLASS. Held in November, it was very well attended and
supported by both classes. We raise a total of £205 and this year
the classes chose to donate to ‘Save the Children’. Thank you to all
who supported this FUN way to FUNdraise!!
Thanks also go to the friendly staff at the East Neuk Centre, where
a smile always awaits you; Lindsey, Wish, John and Gus your
continued interest in and support for the PILATES classes is very
much appreciated!
May I close by inviting you, the reader, to come along to try a
PILATES class, you never know you may even enjoy it!

Play Away
The Play Away I and II sessions were set up by the Health Visitors
and Acorn Service Nursery Nurse in the East Neuk of
The target group for Play Away I is for babies from 10 months to 1
year of age and Play Away II for children aged between 20 months and
2 years.
Each course is held over 6 weeks for 2 hours per week at The East
Neuk Centre.
The basis for the course was provided by the Play@Home Baby and
Toddler books, which all
The Play@Home programme encourages parents to promote physical
activity from birth to five years of age and beyond. Parents are
encouraged to be active with their babies and toddlers and provide
stimulating, easy ideas for play which can be continued at home.
Each session uses different age-appropriate activities. All play has
movement, which will increase activity and promote an active,
healthy lifestyle. Both parents and children develop new skills and
communicate and socialise with each other.
Parents are encouraged to be the role models and see themselves as
their child’s most important teacher.
The babies and toddlers develop body awareness and promote the
development of good movements.
Promotion of playmates, sharing and playing together helps the
children to interact and think about others.

Playgroup began in August 2008 with our normal numbers for the start
of each new year of approximately 16 daily.
By January 2009 we had reached our maximum of 30 children per
session resulting in us taking on 2 temporary members for staff to
meet the correct child : adult ratio.
Both Care Commission and Equate inspections have proved very
positive with us achieving grades of 4 and 5 (6 is the maximum you
can receive.)
We were awarded new physical play resources as a result of a staff
member attending training and starting up an Active Kids Session
approximately every month which encourages parents to join us for
half an hour and learn new activities etc. – this has proved very
popular and will continue next year.
Our music teacher continues to visit monthly with the children
learning their musical notes and try a variety of different musical
instruments to those we have on offer daily in Playgroup.
She has remarked that she feels our children are very mature
both in their musical skills and interest shown and in their general
behaviour.
We continue t try to provide and excellent service to parents and
children offering a wide variety of learning play with fully
qualified staff who are also registered with SSSC (Scottish Social
Services Council.)
We would like to thank East Neuk Centre for their support throughout
the year and look forward to working with you in the following year.

Integrated Community Schools
Reason for group:
·
To target vulnerable parents – through referrals to ICS.
·
To introduce a variety of supports available to them.
·
To work with other agencies to help offer more holistic service to
parents.
·
To give advice and offer strategies in dealing with children.
·
For parents to receive support from other parents.
·
For parents to feel less isolated.
·
To help build parents confidence in a variety of ways.
Progress to Date:
Our Parents Group began in February 2008, where we ran our first
Parenting Programme, Triple P.
From this the parents decided they enjoyed the support and
benefited from being with each other so it was decided to extend the
group, and invite other agencies in to advise them of what other
supports are out there for them.
This has included DAPL, LOST, Children’s Rights, Youth First,
Opportunity Centre, Food and Nutrition specialist (Health),
Voluntary Service, SACRO, Attention Fife, Gingerbread and more.
All of these, it was felt, were very relevant, and a couple
have even come back for further visits.
Feedback from the parents has been very positive. One of the main
reasons they attend the group is because of the support they receive
from each other. They
do not feel so isolated when they find out others are in similar
situations. Sharing
strategies has also been very useful through the parents groups, and
each other.
The setting has also been very good – The parents all feel very
comfortable in the East Neuk Centre, and able to relax there. They
have always been very welcoming and accommodating.
Because we work in the East Neuk Centre a lot, we are
managing to tie in work together with Community Education, which has
benefited ICS, parents, and hopefully Community Education, a great
deal. The parents are now feeling very much a part of the community,
which is another positive result.
Targets for Future:
·
Parents group continuing until 1st July, where invited
guests will visit the group.
·
Summer holidays - ICS and parents/families from the group will be
involved in Family Activities over the holidays with Community
Education workers.
·
From August 26th, ICS and parents from the group will be
participating in GOALS course, with Elizabeth Bell-Scott.
·
September 2009 - Parents group will resume, with invited guests, and
Parenting Programmes as a rolling theme.

Rainbow Guides meet at 4pm on Wednesdays in the East Neuk Centre and
are for ages from 5 – 7 year old.
Weekly meetings revolve around the Guiding Programme.
In the last year, we have been doing activities and crafts from
around the world :- Africa,
We have special nights for St Andrew’s Day, Halloween, Christmas,
Burns night and Valentine’s Day etc..
Last November, the girls were fund raising for Children in
Need and at Easter, we held an Easter Bunny Drive for our own funds.
We are rounding off the year with a teddy bear’s picnic (weather
permitting!)
Next year should be a very busy year with lots of special events and
activities starting in September 2010 to celebrate
100 years of Girl
Guiding. It should
be lots of fun!

Lighthouse Sunday Club was launched in March 2008, with an Easter
craft day, which attracted around 50 children and their families.
For the first six months, the Club ran monthly, increasing to
fortnightly I September 2008.
Currently, the Club runs on the second and fourth Sundays of
each month, with a break over the school summer holidays.
Pulling from a group of 50 children, we regularly have around 24
attending on any week, which is just about ideal for running around
the Erskine Hall!
The Club is aimed at primary school children of age 8 – 12 and we
have some younger siblings who come along too.
The Club’s activities are Bible based with music, games and
activities designed to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
The content aims to allow children to interpret Christian
values in a contemporary context with the help of games, drama and
discussion. We always
have a café area with newspapers for any parents or visitors who
drop in to see what we do.
We have found the ENCA team friendly, helpful and
accommodating and we continue to find that the Erskine Hall meets
our needs very well.
Special thanks to Danny, Ian and John for help with moving tables
for our craft events.
We have run regular craft & activity events at Easter, Christmas and
a Halloween, each time attracting new children and families to join
in the fun and each event has brought more children into the Club.
We hope to continue these fun events into the 09/10 session
and are planning an end of term fun session with games and maybe
even a water fight (don’t worry, we’ll go to Bankie for that!)
We are looking forward to restarting term in August and to welcoming
old and new faces to the Erskine Hall from 30th August.
In the meantime, we are planning a family BBQ at
