The Courier of 3 January 1930 included coverage of various tournaments which took place in Lundin Links over Christmas and New Year.  These included billiards and dominoes at the Men's Social Club and also a golf Christmas Medal.

According to the 'Largo Village Book' (see image), compiled by the Largo Woman's Rural Institute in 1932, the Men's Social Club had begun after the First World War and was very popular with the men of the parish.  

The Clubroom was given by Mr Paxton of Homelands, Lundin Links and contained billiard tables, a small library, games, etc.  A programme of lectures and discussions was organised each winter.  As well as invited speakers, weekly meetings included such things as 'Hat Nights' where questions were drawn from a hat and discussed, musical evenings and community singing, a Burn's Night celebration, mock elections and discussions on newspaper clippings. Any mention of the club after 1939 I have not been able to find.
