Coffee Morning - Update

The final total raised at our Coffee Morning held last weekend is now £690.00.

Thanks to everyone who help us to raise this fantastic amount. People who came down and bought tickets, raffles tickets, helped to serve tea & coffee, washed dishes, cleared tables, served behind the home baking stall, set up all the stuff to eat on trays,  anybody who gave us a donation.

As you will know on the day we had a tray of poppies and a collection tin. We will send a cheque to Poppy Scotland for £150.00 and we will send back their collection tin after next week end.

Thanks again.

Capitation Fees - 2010 - 2011

We have received our Annual Bill from Brigade for our Company.
Looking at the numbers in the numbers in the Company, we have set the level of our Capitation fees as noted below:


Anchor Section Boys £13.00,  Junior & Company Section Boys and All Officers - £14.50


I am in the process of sending out letters to all the Boys to let them know how much is still owed for the Annual Capitation Fee. Quite a number of people have already paid £5 towards this fee, so their balance will obviously be less.

3rd Sunday Service - 17th October

Hope you have all enjoyed your break from School and BB.

This Sunday is our first 3rd Sunday Church Service of the new session.
The Boys are asked to be down in the halls for 10.20hrs and can be picked up from the halls after the service at approx. 12 noon. Full uniform should be worn and bring a collection.
Parent's are more than welcome to stay for the service.

All three Sections are back on as Normal this week - Tuesday 19th and Friday 22nd.

Junior Section restarted on Friday 3rd September

Quite a few Boys were missing.
Probably due to a combination of some really nice weather and a Scotland football match live on the TV, an understandable reason not to go to BB.

The Boys who came down did not miss out on anything.

By quarter to eight they were ready to go home via the tuckshop. They all had a good night and will be back for more next week.

Remember next Friday when it might well be raining and Scotland games are not being shown live on the TV. The missing Boys can always come down, they know where we are. You have all been sent letters

2010 - 2011 Session Start dates

By now everybody should have received a letter letting them know when their start back date is.

Anchor Section  - Tuesday 7th September @ 6pm.

Junior Section - Friday 3rd September @ 6pm.

Company Section - Friday 3rd September @ 6pm.

Also included in the letter sent out was an order form for anybody who needs new or replacement uniform and a copy of the annual consent form. Please return these on your start date to either Linda or myself.

We are all looking forward to seeing you all back in early September.

Mark and all the Officers at 5th Hamilton BB.
