JS Figure Marching and CS Squad Drill Results

We were 3rd in the Junior Section Figure Marching Competition. We scored 62 points.
The winners were on 64 and 2nd place scored 63 so it was very close.

We aso have the result in from Friday nights Company Section Squad Drill Competition.
We finished 4th.
1st Bothwell won, then 2nd Hamilton followed by 2nd Blantyre and then us in 4th, and in last place 13th Hamilton.

I also got a copy of the Junior Section Bible Competition results on Sunday at the Quarterdeck Parade.
Very interesting reading. You will all find out who won that at the Display.

"Do you realise we are all over 45? Are you having a laugh?

That is the comment in the last email I have just received from one of the "honed athletes" from the 1980 volleyball team.

I have managed to track down 7 out of the original 8 Boy team.
As Elrick pointed out, they are all over 45, with some of them nearing 50.

Out of the 7 I have contacted. 6 of them are up for the game against the new Boys.
One of them is using an excuse about being in America for not playing.......
Our Minister is from America and he can't play volleyball either, it must be something to do with the Atlantic.

So I will have to pull in my reserves from the running up team in 1981.Grazy and Sprinter are getting a call up!
I will also give Cheating Smeaton, Kenny McVicar and Graeme Reilly a call. Hammy Smillie might still have that purple track suit?
I know that Harry Webster still has a sweatshirt from 1980 with the winning logo. Dougie has one of them as well with his name on it, but he says it WILL not fit him anymore.

So I am off now to try to sort out a venue and a time.
A secondary school games hall with a volleyball court that is available in late August/Early September.

That gives you the best part of 5 months to get training.

5, maybe 6 or 7 out of the 8 have been found!

We are slowly tracking them down.
Now only got 3 people still to talk to but hopefully we have managed to get the message out to 2 of these over the weekend.
So hopefully by the middle of the week, we are still only looking for one of the 1980 team members.
Big Webby, (Ian Webb) he used to stay in Elliot Crescent, but that was years ago.
Dougie is going to get a copy of the picture and we can scan it onto the blogsite.
That will be a laugh to see all that long 1980's hair do's.
Keep an eye out for webby get him to give me a phone.
