Smarties

I have given each Boy a full tube of Smarties tonight; this is to help with the fund raising. Our usual simple rules apply, eat the Smarties keep the tube and full it with 20 pence pieces.


When it is full bring it back on a Friday night, sometime after Christmas, probably during February.

This all helps towards the company funds and some of the money is also used as “profit share” towards the cost of the Annual trips.

The Anchor Section will get their Smarties on Tuesday 24th November

Junior & Company Sections – Friday 27th November 2009

As you know next Saturday is the Cadzow Parish Christmas Fayre, so we have given up our use of the halls on Friday night in order to let the halls be set up for the Christmas Fayre.

We are still on; we have been invited to a “St Andrew’s” themed night at the 1st Bothwell Company.

The Junior Section are asked to be across at the Bothwell Parish Church Halls at the slightly later time of 6.40 pm, this is in order to allow their Anchor Section to finish and be clear of the car park. The Boys can be picked up at 8 pm.

The Company Section should be across for the normal time of 7.45 pm and be picked up at 10 pm.

Uniform to be worn as usual. The Boys should bring their normal collection and tuck shop money.

Church Parade & Coming Events

3rd Sunday Church Parade – this Sunday 15th Nov 2009.
Full Uniform, including school trousers and school shoes.
Please remember to bring your collection.

CHURCH CHRISTMAS FAYRE
Our Christmas Fayre is on Saturday 28th November, at 1.30pm. Once again we are organising the Tombola and therefore we would ask for any donations for this stall, such as bottles, boxes of sweets, toiletries, pens/pencils and colouring books, small toys etc., simply anything you would like to donate.
These donations can be handed in to Boys' Brigade on the next two Tuesdays (17th and 24th) or the next two Fridays (13th or 20th), or on the morning of the 28th.
Please remember, if everyone donates at least 1 or 2 items, then with a company of 55 Boys, we will manage to have a successful Tombola.

Annual Fees
The constitution of the Boys’ Brigade lays out a requirement that each member should pay an annual Membership Fee and that each Company should pay an annual Registration/Insurance Fee.
Therefore, the Capitation Fee this session for the 5th Hamilton Company will be:
Anchor Boys - £12.00 Junior and Company Section Boys - £13.50 All Officers - £13.50
Weekly collection money for all Boys and officers will remain at 50p per week.
I would appreciate if you could make payment of the Capitation Fee as soon as possible in order that we can finalise and make payment to Brigade Headquarters within the proper time restrains imposed.
