We were sent 38 Kids go free tickets from the Falkirk Wheel.
Just because we took a party of Anchor and Junior Section Boys there at the weekend we were sent these out in the post.
So if you or any of your friends feel like going to the Falkirk wheel before 31 July 2010.
Let us know, we can give you a complimentary children's ticket aboard the boat trip that you can use when accompanied by a full paying adult.
I can't see me using them all before the end of July. so give us a call or drop us an email. if you want 1 or 2 or 3.

A blog site set up as part of the Company Section Award programme in 2008/2009 Session. The idea behind it is to allow postings to be put on the site and accessed by Company members. We hope to develop this site in order to help with the flow of information to Boys and Parents about activities in the 5th Hamilton BB Company.

Grade 1 Expedition
Well done to the 4 Boys who took part in the Grade 1 expedition on Saturday morning.
Everybody turned up on time and we got down to Warnlockhead and set off at 10.30.
It was a bit overcast and we had a couple of showers but nothing too wetting.
Everybody managed to complete the wlak from Warnlockhead to Spango Bridge in just over two hours, although it would have been quicker if some people had not talked as much (Stewart and Alex).
Took my camera but forgot to take pictures, DOH!
Next challenge for this bunch the Tinto walk, the grade 2's will have their own practice walk up in Callandar in a couple of weeks time.
Remember you need to let me know if you are going to do the Tinto walk so as I can organise MacMillan T-Shirts from Angela at the Biggar Office.

The Display - Friday 14th May
You had to be there, to get a prize.
The Top table was loaded with them at the beginning and empty at the end
We gave everything away to all the winners.
Two Boys got president's Badges and Colin got his Queen's Badge.
Colin was also discharged as a Boy, but he was also promoted to Staff Sergeant and asked back as a member of Staff.

Grade 1 Expedition - Saturday 15th May
I have now confirmed with 2nd Blantyre that all 4 Grade 1 Boys will be tasking part in the expedition walk on Saturday morning, from Warnlockhead to Spango Bridge.
The 4 Boys should meet me down at the Church on Saturday for 9 am, we will leave and then go down to meet up with the 2nd Blantyre Company at 10 am.
I am told that it should not take the boys much more than an hour and a half to two hours to complete. We should be leaving Spango Bridge just after 12 noon and be back in Hamilton for 1 pm hopefully.
The Boys should bring along a day sack with a packed lunch and something to drink. Wet weather gear and have a pair of sturdy hill walking boots. We have our own expedition equipment which will be given out on Saturday maps, compass, whistle, etc.
The Boys need to prepare their route card all as previously discussed.
