New BB session and a new Sunday School

The new session re start letters are all going into their envelopes along with the consent forms and uniform order forms.

The new session starts next week. Tuesday 2nd September for the Anchor Section at 6pm for 6.15pm.

Friday 5th September  at 6 pm for 6.15pm for the Junior Section followed at 6.30pm for the Company Section.

As we start the new session we will be continuing with our monthly church visits on the third Sunday of each month from October to May. However you might like to know about the new Sunday school set up at Cadzow Parish this year.

I have put a couple of pictures of the letter and flyer below so you can see what is planned.

We all look forward to seeing you back at BB next week and remember bring along a new recruit to join us.

Annual DIsplay & Parents Evening - 9th MAY 7pm

Our end of session Annual Parents evening & presentation of awards will take place in just over two weeks time.
It has been another very quick year.

The Display starts at 7pm sharp with all the members of the Company being present on the night. Anchor, Junior & Company Sections.

You are all invited to come along parents and family and friends to see what the Boys have done over the session and to see who gets the awards.

Junior Section 25th April 2014

Just to remind you all that Junior Section resumes after the Easter break on Friday next, 25^th April.  Hopefully we will have a bit of time to hear about the boys holiday adventures before we plunge into further preparations for the Display on May 9^th. Only two more weeks to whip things into shape!

On Sunday 27^th April the Battalion is holding its Quarterdeck Service for Junior Sections at Hamilton Baptist Church in Kemp Street. For this service we would meet at Cadzow at 2.25pm to walk round and be in place for the start at 3pm. Could you please let Carolyn Nicolson know whether or not your son is able to attend by email, text or phone as soon as possible please?

Thank you, the JS Officers.

Friday 25th January 2013 - Burns Night. @ Company Section

Tomorrow don't have a big dinner before you come out to BB.
You are doing your Indoor Cooking section of your skills badge tomorrow night.
This involves you preparing / cooking a 3/4 course meal for you all to sit down and eat.
Being the 25th of January I thought that it would be a good idea to have a Burns Night, so you are going to cook a typical Burns Supper menu.

Cock a Leekie soup (Tinned by Baxters)
Haggis, neeps and Tatties.(Tinned by Grants, neeps pre chooped to be boiled and Tatiies to be peeled and boiled).
Clouty dumpling (made by Linda)
Biscuits & Cheese
Washed down with loads of Irn Bru (made by Barrs watched by Alan)

The idea is come down at the normal time - for 6.30. You will all be assigned a task, preparing or cooking food, setting up the tables and chairs in the Session House, setting the table etc.
By the end of the Junior Section at 7.45 everything should be prepared and ready to eat.
The guests (you) will be piped into the Session House
The guests will be welcome and Grace will be said.The soup course will be served.
This will be followed by the Address to a Haggis
and Toast to the Haggis before the main course is served.
The dessert of warm clouty dumpling will be served.
Followed by biscuit and cheese.
A Toast will be made to the Queen.
No toast or response will be given to or replied to by the Lassies since none will be present.
Before some Burns poetry is recited and finally The Immortal Memory will be given (a spell binding oratoration on the life of Burns.

Then unfortunately you will all have to help with the dishes before we finish at 9 pm, it might just run over a wee bit tomorrow night

Smartie Tubes

Anchor, Junior & Company Section Boys were all given a tube of Smarties this week.

The usual rules apply:
                                Eat the sweeties. remember to share them!

                               Save the tube and then refill it over the next few months with 20p pieces.

If you do this right, when you bring it back in February/March next year there will
be about £12.00 in the tube.

Have fun enjoy the Smarties and remember to bring them back full of 20ps next year.

Company Section - Badgework - Digital Photography

Friday night saw the Company Section Boys split into groups of 3 and sent in the Church to experiment with a couple of Olympus 5 and 8 mega pixel, point and press, auto focus digital cameras and take photographs.

Shown below are a selection of some of their photographs taken; along with a few I took using a slightly bigger and better Canon EOS SLR 15 mega pixel digital camera with a 75-200mm zoom lense.

New Session - Starts in September

The letters are in the post to all the Boys regarding the restart dates.

Emails will also be sent out.

  

Please note that the time of the Company Section has changed, this is in order to overcome a shortfall in staff numbers currently in the Company Section.

Numbers are quite low in the Junior Section so I have included an invite with the letters for all the Junior Section Boys. Please think about your friends at school who might like to give the Junior Section a try, invite them along.

Junior Section P4 to P6

Remember, if you know anybody in P1 to P3 they are more than welcome to come along to the Anchor Section, and also P7 to S6 can come to the Company Section.

See you all next week!
