Early Start for Junior Section

only using the email address on file the one EA (Ear Ache - Linda) gave me.

I hope the first day back at school went well for everyone.

No doubt we're all too exhausted to think about running about on Monday night, but maybe by Friday the boys will be looking forward, or at least their parents will, to having a chance to run off some steam!!

So here's the very thing ! JUNIOR SECTION is starting back 2 weeks early, for some fun FOOTBALL and CROSS COUNTRY practice, before our competitions begin.

On Friday 21st and 28th August,  Junior Section will meet at the Davie Cooper Statue at the Palace Grounds for 6.15pm till 7.30pm.

Please wear suitable clothing for the above activities and taking account of the weather - whatever that may be!!!

hope you can all make it.

Really bad 1991 picture from International Camp

Don't tell the Battalion Company Section Committee that our Junior Section Boy was only a P4, it is bad enough for them that we beat them with a JS Boy in our Team. ha ha ha Losers!

The Junior Section won the Battalion JS Cross Country at Stonehouse on Saturday 4th October 2014,
It's only taken 131 years to beat the 1st Stonehouse at Cross Country!

90th Anniversary - January 2015

Early next year we will be celebrating the 90th Anniversary of the founding of the Company.

I am currently having discussions with our youngest Officer (Robbie) and an Officer from the Anchor Section (Stewart) to start making preparations for an Anniversary Weekend event probably in February next year. (20th & 21st TBC).

It would be the intention to invite past members of the Company - both Boys and Officers to come along to this event.

We have not sorted out everything yet, and we have not quite set all the dates in place but I am in the process of hopefully securing a venue for a celebration meal.

One of the things we did the last time for the 75th in 200 was design a badge.

I have had a thought about this and I have put together an idea which I am currently getting priced up. This badge will be for every current Boy and member of Staff plus all the ex-members who attend the event.

Quick preview below - still needs to be tweaked a bit and sorted out but getting there.

So If you know somebody who was either a Boy or Officer in The Company from it's founding in 1925 right through to now, get them to get in contact with us either or a Tuesday night or Friday, via an email or through this blog page.

Hey you never know we might even go onto Facebook and/or twitter.

We look forward to hearing from you all.

Only two more weeks to whip things into shape!

On Sunday 27^th April the Battalion is holding its Quarterdeck Service for Junior Sections at Hamilton Baptist Church in Kemp Street. For this service we would meet at Cadzow at 2.25pm to walk round and be in place for the start at 3pm.
