Celebrations come to an end with Anniversary Ball Friday 27th October saw the 60th Anniversary Ball bring Halkirk's Anniversary year celebrations to a close. In the Weigh Inn, Thurso, nearly 150 were present to mark this special year for the club. The anniversary cake was cut by the club's first treasurer, Mrs Christine More and current secretary, Carol-Ann Budge. Following the meal, club chairman of 1975-76, Mr George Dunnett, proposed a toast and came a witty and humorous after dinner speech. A dance to Whisky followed which everyone seemed to enjoy.

Change of Venue for Halkirk YF's 60th Celebrations
Halkirk’s 60th Anniversary year gets off to a great start Halkirk YFC began their 60th Anniversary celebrations with a Quiz and social evening in the Ross Institute, Halkirk. With a total of 17 teams taking part the night was a great success. Question masters for the evening, Mr James Campbell and Mr John Bremner kept the evening moving along smoothly as Halkirk’s very own “Ant and Dec”. The eventual winners of the quiz were “He’s behind you”, comprising Karen Oliphant, Mrs Anne Oliphant and Neil Henderson. Runners-up spot was taken by the “Wooden Tops”, Alan Hewitson, Dorothy Binnie, Jessie Allan and Robert Budge. Teas were served during the Quiz interval whilst the social evening kicked off with music by John Dunbar and a dancing demonstration.
