Annual Fees

There are still quite a number of outstanding Annual Fees still to be paid for Junior and Company Section Boys.

The Annual Fee has already been paid by the Company to Brigade Headquarters.

This year the Company Annual Fee is:
£12.00 for Boys in the Anchor Section
£13.50 for Boys in the Junior & Company Sections and all Officers.

We would appreciate these overdue Fees being paid before the end of January 2010.

Thanks

Church Heating?

I have received in the form of an intimation from Cadzow Parish Church the following information.
"As a result of the prolonged spell of cold weather, the water supply to the whole Church is frozen, As a result there are no toilet facilities within the Church."

I would also add that I have spoken to one member who has to do with the heating that the reason we had to cancel Junior & Company Sections on Friday 8th January, was as a result of the main boiler tripping and not re-setting. This operation was carried out today, and we are told that there will be a service, tomorrow on Sunday 10th January all be it shorter than normal.

I will try to keep an ear out for any further developments, but at the moment the heating should be working for Tuesday 12th for the Anchor Section as usual, so unless you hear from us to tell you otherwise.

Anchor Section is still on this coming Tuesday.


And hopefully Junior & Company Sections will meet next Friday as usual.

Happy New Year - 2010

Brrrr.... It's Cold!

I don't think it's been much above zero since the turn of the year.
Never mind the weather, there is always something to do at the BB.

The Anchor Section started back on Tuesday 5th by going to McDonald's at the Palace grounds for their tea, 18 McChicken Nugget Happy Meals, 16 Flurries and loads of Milkshakes.

I think everybody enjoyed themsleves.

The Junior & Company Section had been down at M&D's during the holidays for their 10-pin bowling trip. 20 Boys from both Sections were joined by 4 Officers.

Calum from the Company Section got the highest score with 260 for 2 games. Also Scott from the Junior Section must be congratulated for scoring 119 in his 2nd game and beating both Mr H and Mr W from the Company Section who both struggled to break the 100 mark.

Everything is back to normal with the Junior & Company Section meeting on Friday nights in Uniform from 6 pm and 7.45pm.
Anchor Section back to their usual time and place on Tuesday nights.

See you all soon

Anchor Section McDonalds Tea

Hi Folks,
I hope you all had a really good Christmas and since I'm sending this on Hogmanay, I wish you all a happy and peaceful 2010.

As we previously said on our calendar, our first Tuesday in 2010 (5th Jan), is our outing to McDonalds, Palace Grounds, for Tea.

The Boys should meet us inside McDonalds between 5.45 and 6pm. They should wear their Anchor Polo shirt and Sweat shirt, but can wear their jeans on the bottom half, as usual.

When they arrive I will take their order – NO money required, as this is their Christmas/ New Year treat.
You should plan to pick your Son up again from McDonalds at 7.15pm, as normal.

It would be helpful if you could let me know by e-mail or text, whether or not your son will be going.
Hope to see you all there.

Linda.
PS. Anchor Section resumes, normal time and place on Tuesday 12th.

Junior & Company Section 10-pin Bowling

I hope that you have all had a good Christmas & Santa brought you everything that you asked for .

As usual we are going 10-pin bowling. I have booked Cosmic Bowling at M&D's in Strathclyde Park for 2 pm on Wednesday 30th December.

We are booked to play 2 games of bowling, so that should take approx. 2 hours.
So as we can start at 2 pm, we would like the Boys down for 1.45, so as I can split them up into age groups teams for their lanes.

Also it would help us greatly if we knew who is or is not coming.
So I would ask that you email me back to let me know one way or the other.

Obviously no uniform for this outing, and they can bring some spending money for food etc.

Thanks
Mark
