Wemyss Bay Station was venue for 1980s barn dance

We head back to 1985 when Jennifer Rush had the best selling single, "The Power of Love", which spent five weeks at number-one, while Madonna had no fewer than eight top ten hits.

And American culture was very much at the heart of the 1980s with a special festival in Wemyss Bay - with the historic and beautiful railway station as the location for a dancing event, as seen in the above photo.

Largs Rotary were celebrating their 25th anniversary with a special dinner at the Seamill Hydro - and were splendidly dressed for the occasion.

It was a busy year of activities for the Rotary, one of which was providing a picnic table at Aubery with the prime aim of the group to improve the local environment.

Millport locals enjoyed the rare opportunity of a trip to Wee Cumbrae, and were pictured next to the historic island lighthouse on the back hills.

Included in the picture is the late Effie Kerr who bequeathed the emergency helicopter landing strip at West Bay in Millport along with husband Walter who took this photo.

And the sailboard winners at Largs Sailing Club were photographed with their prize trophies, while Largs Boys Brigade were also parading their silverware in the pages of the Largs and Millport News.
