Thanks go to everyone who attended our 117th Annual Inspection and Display which took place on May 16th.
We were delighted to welcome such a large turnout for the occasion from boys’ families to members of the Church and former members of the Company.
The programme featured a range of items that reflected our weekly activities, which for Company Section included drill, bugle band and games.
The highlight of the evening was three of our senior boys – William Greenhill, Brodie Happell and Donald Mathison, being awarded their President’s Badges.
Congratulations also goes to Struan Maxwell, who won the main individual prize, the Award for Efficiency, despite being in his first year of Company Section. The Squad Challenge Prize was this year won by Squad #3 commanded by Ethan Walker-Reid.
Our Inspecting Officer for the evening was Rev. Stewart Cutler, Chaplain of The Boys’ Brigade. Thanks also go to George Mackay for chairing the evening and to Gordon Smith for playing the piano during the hymns.
In late May, our bugle band, combined with the band of the 205th Glasgow, once again had the honour of leading Glasgow Battalion’s parade of King’s Men ahead of the presentation ceremony at Glasgow City Chambers. With many of our band members playing at the parade for the first time, boys did a fantastic job as they marched from Blythswood Square, down West George Street and into George Square.
There are still events to go in the calendar, with boys visiting Blackpool Pleasure Beach on June 21st.
Attention will then turn to Summer Camp which takes place at the Sir Arthur Grant Outdoor Centre in Aberdeenshire from August 8-11.
