    2009 Kirkcaldy links market
    Ones again the links market is over.
    The biggest street fair in Europe and Scotland biggest fair as you know travellers look forward to this as they come from all over the uk.
    I was there on Sunday 12th for the pull on to the ground at Kirkcaldy it was a very strange pull on as there where still other events going on in Dundee and in Edinburgh so they continue to pull on Monday and Tuesday.
    For the events
    Tuesday seen the showmen’s football in Glenrothes the Chris Findlay Memorial football competition

    Then it was back to the dean park hotel in Kirkcaldy for the Presentation of the trophies and the kid dance and then on to the showmen’s dance at the candlerooms night club in Kirkcaldy.
    Wednesday sees the opening off the 2009 Kirkcaldy links market from the showmen’s guild of Great Britain then seeing the prom coming alive with a steady stream of punters.
    It was very cooled on Wednesday but sunny over all a good day.
    Thursday 16th it was very cooled but sunny over all a good day.
    Friday the 17th it was very cooled but sunny over all a good day
    Saturday the 18th saw the model show and exhibition at the Links town church hall it was on from 10.30am-till-4.30pm and saw
    Sunday 19th seen the big showman dance at the candlerooms on the prom this is always been a greet
    Dance were all the travellers get together at the end off the event
    The fairground opened in total for six day period and ended on Monday 20th at Kirkcaldy
    I would like to thank the entire Scottish Showmen's Section for the warm welcome you gave me on the ground and at the football Presentation and dance
    Thank you
