KCS committee
 
There are 17 members on the committee. At committee meetings we discuss many subjects relating to the town including planning issues. Letters are written to the appropriate authorities regarding any concerns we, or our members, may have about the town. We organise events, carry out research, write books and give talks to interested parties amongst other activities. Kirkcaldy Civic Society is represented by Mrs Ann Watters and other members of the committee at many events held in and out of the town.

 
A deputation of committee members lodged a petition at the Scottish Parliament.
