Company Section - 125th Anniversary Activity Weekend

There are 5 Company Section Boys and 2 Officers going to Largs for an Activity weekend on the 5th, 6th & 7th of June.

We have being paying this trip up since February and everything is set to go as far as I am concerned. Full payment has been made to Scottish Headquarters in Larbert as requested by the due dates. But as with most things "Brigade National", we still await our information packs from Headquarters.

Hopefully we will have this material in hand during next week.

It would therefore be my intention to have a quick half hour meeting with the Boys and a Parent down at the halls on Friday 29th May at 7.30

We have booked the fully inclusive weekend package with en-suite facilities. We shall wait and see just what that entails. I do know from the previous information that it starts on the Friday evening with a BBQ, and that it finishes on the Sunday.

At the moment, I would ask that you bear with us until such a time that I can provide all of the relevant information. i.e. departure times and estimated time of arrival home on Sunday.

As explained above I shall make every effort during next week to have all of this information to hand for our meeting next Friday.

They thinks it's all over, It is now!

Just when you thought we had got to the end of another session, there are a couple of hours added on.

It was not injury time or anything so sinister, it was the Anchor and Junior Section trip held last Saturday.

They met down at the Vue Cinema at the appointed hour, they were not impressed when I told them they were going to see The Hannah Montana Movie. It wasn't it was about a wee dug from Beverley Hills that got lost and found in Mexico.

They had loads to eat and then they went for more food before playing football and Supersoccer skills.

The Junior Section were first on the outdoor pitch.

The Anchor Section had that "Ronaldo" character playing with them, which confused me because he had a white Man Utd top on but he had turned up in an Accies tracksuit??

We even enlisted a Company Section Boy as referee, because I'm not up for all that running about. As you can see he wasn't sponsored by Specsavers, but should have gone there because he could not see the ball with out holding it in front of his face!

Rain did not stop play, not that I think it would have really mattered, they might have enjoyed a bit of rain to keep them cool. The Anchor Section insisted on a half time break to allow them to have a drink of water.

That is the final whistle now, it is over.

The new session starts in September.




Have a good holiday, enjoy the break.

Mark and all the Officers at the 5th
