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.

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).
