Volleyball

The Company Section have been playing volleyball this session, for the first time in a good number of years. We have some promising talent down here on a Friday night.

The thing is Dougie says that they will never be as good as they "old Boys" when he was in the VB team. They won the National Volleyball competition in 1980 or was it 1981. We can't agree, but we will find out.

The recent Thanksgiving service for Norman Batty, made me think about the enjoyment and sense of team achievement we used to have when we regularly played volleyball on a Friday night , at camp and had teams in the National Competitions. I saw so many people who were Boys or Officers in the Company in the 1970's and 80's.
I talked to Douglas about this two weeks ago and we thought it might be a good idea to have a volleyball challenge/fundraiser.
So we thought , why not try to get the winning national VB team for the 1980's back to play a Boys and Officer select team at a match to be organised in August/September this year, as a sort of 30th Anniversary reunion along with a Company 85th Celebration.


If anybody is related to/or knows of the whereabouts of any of the 1980's team players, let them know about this and get them to contact me.

Company Section Masterteam - WINNERS

Each year the Battalion hold a Company Section competition called Masterteam.

It is a quiz, based on BB Knolwedge, general knowledge, sports, observation and the current Bible Passage for this year Bible Competition.

The team is made up of a 3 Company Section Boys, from the 3 age ranges - a junior, an intermediate, and a senior.

This year we could manage to get a team together, one from each age range and we actually got 3 volunteers.

Alex, Robbie and Isaac went out on Monday night to represent the Company and gubbed the rest of the Battalion. They were in the lead from round 1, and secured victory by 10 points.



Well done guys, lets see the cup on Friday.
Now we need to continue the winning streak.
Next the Bible Competition, and then the Company Squad Drill.
