Cumnock Chronicle: Flashback to stories from October 2013

Who can you spot in these pictures from 10 years ago?

BARSHARE Primary went on a bear hunt without ever leaving the comfort of the school in October 2013. Musical performer Aitken Drum took pupils from the Early Childhood Centre up to the P3 class on an adventure with his stories of explorations.

Netherthird’s annual Fun Day in 2013 saw a performance by these youngsters from the Cumnock School of Dance.

NINE-MAN Cumnock landed the first trophy of the season with a heroic display to see off in-form Beith in the Ardagh Cup Final. After a 1-1 draw, the Nock finally beat their rivals with a 9-8 penalty shootout. Cumnock’s captain for the day Chris McKnight holds the trophy.

THEY may have had a team of trained archaeologists on site but it was Cumnock’s school children who have managed to turn up some of the most interesting finds on a dig site in Lugar Street. The team from Northlight Heritage wrapped up work on the site of the former Tupp Inn after two weeks of back-breaking digging. But one school pupil from Logan Primary uncovered a piece of broken pottery which takes pride of place in the box of items gathered from the dig site. St Patrick's pupils are pictured above at the dig.

EVEN a broken nose couldn’t stop Team Hillside from completing a gruelling 12 mile assault course in aid of the Cumnock school. Fundraiser Nan Murphy, whose niece Chloe was head girl at Hillside this year, organised the squad to take on the Tough Mudder challenge. Unfortunately one of the team mates Greg broke his nose on the Everest challenge.
