Willow Weaving Workshop - Saturday 23rd May 2026
In a bid to get the South Dunfermline Community more involved we have negotiated a Willow Weaving Workshop with Rooted Willow Fife. Willow workshops are a chance for you to learn and develop the skills for making things from willow, like bird feeders, plant supports, wreaths, stars and many more beautiful decorative pieces!
This is a remarkably satisfying and rewarding experience. The workshops enable participants to learn the art of willow weaving and practise techniques. This is done with the knowledge that all you have to do is turn up and relax. You also get to take something you have made, and are proud of, home with you to enjoy.
Cost is £30 per person. Tea and Cake included.
Date: Saturday 23rd May 2026
Time: 1.30 - 3.30pm
Venue: John Marshall Community Centre
Places will be limited and tickets can be booked via the payment link below:

Quiz Night - Friday 8th May 2026
Pitreavie Golf Club kindly hosted our Quiz on 8 May. There was a mixture of regular quiz teams from the golf club as well as groups of friends and even Community Council members.
Andy Martin (AM Discos) a respected quizmaster from Dunfermline set us 5 rounds of mixed questions, some easy, to lull us into a false sense of security, many more were a bit tricky. The picture round of faces and logos proved to be a talking point, the winners The Clueless Covenanters received a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates.
Rolling £1 coins at the Brandy Bottle was very competitive, eventually won by Ali Moore, £53 was raised.
It was a close run race, runners up Blackwood Bairns were beaten by just 1 point by Jumpers for Goalposts, we hope they spend the £100 wisely.
Feedback indicated it was a good evening and one we hope to repeat.
Over 65’s Evening - Sunday 12th April 2026
Sunday evening 12th April saw us gathered in the Pitbauchlie House Hotel to enjoy our annual entertainment event for residents aged over 65. This has become a very popular event over the years. Guests enjoyed a beautiful 2 course meal for £15 with a discount from the hotel.
After the meal, entertainment was ably provided by local resident Charlie Toner. The tunes were lively and the dancers kept the floor busy. We really appreciate the support from residents and from the staff in the Hotel, it brings people together and hopefully helps to encourage folk to be part of the community.
A big thank you to Campion Homes who subsidised the meal for the evening. They have also contributed to the Christmas lunch for the Young at Heart Group and we are very grateful for their support.
Litter Pick - Saturday 11th April 2026
As part of Beautiful Scotland we organised a litter pick on Queensferry Road. In 2 ½ hours our volunteers had collected 25 bags of assorted litter. As well as all the usual rubbish, the volunteers found a pair of boxer shorts, a boxing glove and a small fire extinguisher!
Many thanks to all the volunteers, the road looks much cleaner, we hope it stays that way.
