JUNIOR SECTION 7th December 2010 - CANCELLED

JUNIOR SECTION CANCELLED - Due to the very adverse weather this week and given the fact that the Church Car Park and Haddow Street are really not suitable for walking and driving on.

I was down at the Church this afternoon, and Haddow Street was not great, the car park was really icy and slushy.

So no BB this week for the Junior Section. Next planned "normal" BB night will be after the new year on Friday 7th January 2011.

We have still to organise a trip to the 10-pin bowling for the week between Christmas and New Year.
I will send out an email and will try to phone everybody prior to that trip.
It will probably be the Wednesday 29th in the afternoon, but this needs to be confirmed with M & D's and also checked with the availability of the Company Staff for that afternoon.
Look out for an email just before Christmas and it should also appear on the blog site

Friday 3rd December 2010

Junior & Company Sections WILL BE ON TONIGHT

Usual times JS 6.00 - 7.45, CS 7.45 - 10.00

Don't try to drive into the church car park it has not been cleared. Haddow Street and Woodside Walk are both fine. At the moment all the main roads are clear with only a little slush.
Just be careful coming across the car park.

The current forecast is as good as we have had all week - white cloud, maybe sleet, at only zero degrees!

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.
