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.

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.

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.

Display / Smartie Tubes / Anchor & Junior Trips
This as a reminder that the Parents Night is on Friday 14th May. Further details of what your son needs for the night will be given soon.
Also, our Smartie tube fundraiser allows ¼ of the money to be split amongst the boys who have taken part, as profit share, to be set against the cost of their trip. (this works out at approx £3 each year)
Unfortunately, the funds from this have not come in as normal this year, so, if you still have to hand in your Smartie tube, with 20p’s, then can we have it next week.
This year we are thinking about going to the Falkirk Wheel and then possibly making a visit to Carronvale, our National Training Centre, for games in the afternoon. This trip will be on Saturday 22nd May.
As with the past few years, this will be a joint trip for both Anchor and Junior section boys.
May I take this opportunity to ask for your co-operation over the next few weeks, by making sure that your son attends Boys' Brigade and also to let us know if he will not be able to attend the Parents Night on the 14th May. (There is nothing worse than having boys rehearse things, then not being able to come on the night).
Many thanks for your help,
Mark

Battalion Junior Section Quarterdeck Parade – Sunday 25th April
This Sunday we are hosting the annual Battalion Junior Section Parade at Cadzow Parish Church.
This is not so much a parade as a Church service and presentation of awards.
As many Boys as possible should attend this service. Wear Full Uniform, and bring a collection.
The Boys should be brought down to the Church hall at 2.30 pm for a 3 pm service. Parents are welcome to stay. Boys should be picked up from the hall at 4 pm.
I have attached to the back of this letter a note about the Display, Smartie Tube Fund raiser and the Junior Section trip. In addition, I would ask that any Boy who still has a cup presented at last years Display please return it to me by Sunday 25th April.
