AN ICONIC game was brought back to Saltcoats earlier this month - by a group of volunteers.

Many would have been reminiscing of fantastic memories from their childhood when they saw 'kerbie' being played on Dockhead Street - or is it kerby?

While the spelling, and no doubt pronounciation, may be up for debate, the fun it brings is certainly not.

The old street game was part of a pop-up event put on by the group SeaSalt Streets outside of the former Trinity Church in Dockhead Street at the beginning of this month.

The group are a team of local volunteers seeking to make improvements to Dockhead Street and the surrounding environments.

They look to use creative and innovative approaches to enhancing the amenity of the area including improving street furniture, street planting, adding street art and re-imagining how to use empty shop units.

This latest free event was put on to bring the people of Saltcoats, of all generations, together - and seems to have worked a treat.

It helped the older generation to reconnect with their youth by reminiscing of a bygone pastime and introduced the game of kerbie to the younger generation.

The event also featured a drumming sessions led by Michelle from Drum4URLife and special guest appearance from Saltcoats very own 'Invisible Man' which certainly added to an already memorable day.

Over 300 people interacted with the group from SeaSealt Streets and they wished to hank everyone who helped make this event a huge success.
