The overall total from December 2022's Santa's Sleigh was just over £8,000. This meant that Cupar Foodbank received around £3,000 and our partner groups several hundred pounds each.

Thanks to all who took part and all who donated plus Tesco for our final session at the supermarket.

Love these old photos of the original games.

Another view of the Haugh Park, with spectators arriving for the 1945 Highland Games.

The setting is The Haugh Park, Cupar. The date is 23rd June 1945. The occasion is the first Cupar Highland Games after the Second World War. The Games attracted a crowd of over 8000 according to press reports at the time. The pipe band can be seen with the flagpole and bandstand in the background. The high bar was for the heavy event, throwing the 56 pound weight over the bar.
A number of other photographs from the event will be posted in due course. Unfortunately we do not have one showing the message boys cycle race( with carriage)!
