Easter Holidays

We are all having a well earned two week break from BB because it is the Easter Holidays. The schools don't call it that any more, it's called the spring holiday and this year it ties in very nicely with Easter. So we will call it the Easter Holidays.

The Junior & Company Sections will not meet on Good Friday (2nd) and will also be off on Friday 9th April. Both these sections will be back on Friday 16th, and yes we know that is still at the end of the holidays, but we can't afford to take 3 weeks off so near to the end of the session.

The Anchor Section will not be meeting on Tuesday 6th and 13th but will be back on Tuesday 20th April , which is the day after you all go back to school.

Please remember that Sunday 18th April is the 3rd Sunday of the month and we will be attending Church as a Company. Please meet in uniform in the halls for 10.20, remember to bring a collection, and as usual Parent's are more than welcome to stay for the service.

When we come back all the sections will only have 4 meetings each before the end of session Annual Display and Parent's Evening on Friday 14th May. 

If any Boy has a trophy from Anchor, Junior or Company Section from the Display last year please bring them back on Friday 16th or Tuesday 20th April. We need to get them in and out to get engraved.

Saturday 13th March

12 Boys are taking part in the Battalion Junior Section Figure Marching Competition.

This is being held at the Congregational Church Halls in Blantyre, at the top end of the Asda Blantyre car park.

The Boys all know who they are, they need to be meet Mr Nicolson in Blantyre at 1.15 in full BB Uniform, they are due on the floor at 1.30 and should be finished for 1.40 pm.

Friday 12th March

Next Friday 12th March we will NOT be meeting in the Church halls at Cadzow as Usual.
The Church is holding a Stewardship Campaign on Thursday 11th and Saturday 13th therefore the halls are not available to us for use.
I have booked two gyms halls at Holy Cross Secondary School for use on the night.

Junior Section will meet at the usual time 6.00 pm - 7.45 pm.
Company Section will meet from 7.45 pm only until 9.30 pm.

There will be no tuck shop next week.

3rd Sunday - 21st February 2010

This weekend it is the 3rd Sunday of the month again.

So we will be attending the Church as a Company - all 3 Sections, Anchor, Junior & Company. In full Uniform.

Those of you who were at Anchors on Tuesday should all have got a note and Junior & Company Boys will get a note tonight.

Sunday morning in the Hall for 10.20 am in full uniform, wearing school trousers and black shoes. Remember to bring a collection.

Parents can stay if they wish. Boys can be picked up from the hall after the service at approx. 11.45 or midday, depending how long the Minister goes on for this week!

(He got carried away last week, he was still going at noon).

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
Mark
