1 week to the start of the Anchor Section

It's back by popular demand!

Next Tuesday 1st September 6 pm in the Church halls at Cadzow Parish Church.

All the Boys in P1 at Chatelherault should have had a note by now. So expect a few new 1st year Boys.



Returning 2nd & 3rd Year Boys have all had a letter sent out.



I'm pretty sure that Linda, Karen & Stewart are looking forward to seeing you all again next week.



I will try to get to the cash & carry for tuck shop sweets before next week!

Re-Start Letters, Consent Forms and Uniform Orders

You should have all received your re-start letters today with a couple of exceptions that have been posted.

The letter tells you about the new session start dates:

Anchor Section – Re-start Tuesday 1st September.
Tuesday Nights 6.00 p.m. until 7.15 p.m. in main Church Hall. Boys in P1 to P3.

Uniform - BB blue Polo shirt, BB red sweatshirt, Dark trousers and dark footwear, Armband.
Jogging trousers and trainers OK for normal Tuesday nights.

Junior Section - Re-start Friday 4th September.
Friday Nights 6.00 p.m. until 7.45 p.m. in main Church Hall. Boys in P4 to P6

Uniform - BB blue Polo shirt, BB royal blue sweatshirt, Dark trousers and dark footwear to be worn, BB Hat, complete with yellow surround and hat badge, appropriate armbands and badges.

Company Section - Re-start Friday 4th September.
Friday Nights 7.45 p.m. until 10.00 p.m. in main Church Hall. Boys in P7 to S6

Uniform - Long sleeved blue BB shirt for the boys, with BB Boys clip on tie, plain dark trousers and dark footwear, BB Hat, complete with red surround and hat badge, appropriate armbands and badges.

There is a Uniform order slip in with the letter. We know that not everybody needs new uniform, but here is a chance if something is too wee for you or you are moving up a section.

When we get these orders back with payment we will put together a "big" order to BB Supplies. This way it cuts down on the post and packaging cost and it also avoids the disappointment of not getting what you need at the local BB Supplies Depot in Motherwell.

There is also a copy of the Annual Consent Form in with this letter please read it carefully and complete the form for the correct Boy in the correct Section. We have enclosed a copy relevant to the Section that the Boy is going into. However, if there are two brothers in the house please check the top Part A of the form to make sure you are completing for the correct section.

Lastly there is a note about this blogspot, and the fact that we want to use it more to pass on information and also to cut down on the amount of paper we use.

We would like to get a note of an email address of a parent/guardian to whom we can send the necessary notifications and information. Please fill this in and bring it back to us at the start of the session

Bon Voyage to The Coutts

We wish Fraser and his Family all the very best when they leave soon to move across to Dubai for a couple of years.

Remember you are leaving behind loads of friends over here and we would like you to keep in touch.

Let us know what the weathers like, how hot it really is, and perhaps you are bored with all the sun.
Think of us all shivering over here in lovely not so sunny Hamilton.

I'm sure we will hear from your Family over here how you are doing.
Remember to keep watching the blog spot.

Best wishes to Fraser, Zara, Mum & Dad.

From all the Officers and Boys at the 5th Hamilton BB.

The Summer break is almost over.

The School starts on Monday, Anchor Boys re-start two weeks on Tuesday, Junior & Company Sections three weeks on Friday.

That’s during the first week in September. Tuesday 1st & Friday 4th, but don’t worry we will be sending out letters to you all next week sometime.

I have not been updating the blog page much since early June, nothing has really happened. There has not been a lot to show our tell you.

I have attached a couple of photos taken at the 125th Anniversary Activity Weekend back in early June. It was a good weekend, brilliant venue with loads of sports to take part in or to watch.

The 5 Boys took part in all sessions over the weekend, the two staff had a slightly slower weekend but to be fair we still took part in more than half the activities.

The Boys were well impressed at Dougie’ s volleyball skills as demonstrated before lunch on the Saturday. But they were even more impressed by the fact that my team beat Dougie’ s team at volleyball.

Come on Mr H. you are letting the 1981 team down there by letting me beat you!

We thought we were getting away from Hamilton for the weekend, however Mr Batty found us on Sunday morning playing football in a cage.

The food was good healthy balanced diet loads of just what is needed when playing sports and for athletes. But although the Boys took part in everything I think they would have preferred a little stodgier and less diet.

The picture above sort of sums it all up. Sunday after lunch before the final activity – shattered!

Congratulations to Calum - Still standing up!

See you all soon
