Battalion had organised games, a marquee with memorabilia and a climbing wall. It was a great day and certainly raised the awareness of the public with regard to the Boys' Brigade. A couple of lads from the 8th had a go on the climbing wall and had great fun.

The Boys' Brigade is 125 years old! There are many events taking place throughout the country and Birmingham. We will be getting involved in the Battalion events and will let you all know what we have been up to for the 125th celebrations

New Session - 2008 - 2009

Our new session has begun!

We have a wonderful year planned for all our young people and look forward to a lot of fun and achievements.

We also welcome to the staff, Jane Platt who is St. Boniface Church Curate. Jane has taken the role of leader of the Anchor Section on a temporary basis until a more permanent replacement can be found for Kate Hudson who has stepped down as Officer in Charge of this section. We are so grateful for the work Kate has done over the last 8 years which has led to many boys going through Anchors, Juniors and into Company Section. Thank you!

Also, we have plans for our summer camp in 2009 which will be in tents at the West Midlands Camping site in Dyffryn, Wales. Will be different from previous years, but will be a wonderful week returning to the older tradition of Camp in Tents. We do hope all young boys and girls from Juniors, Company and Senior Section will attend. the dates are Saturday 25th July - Saturday 1st August.

We shall be updating this site regularly throughout the year with news and events. Please do check back to make sure you are up to date. Also, please look at the online calendar link above which gives you the most up to date listing of events, competitions and commitments that boys are taking part in. There is a lot of information here that should help with regard to times, location and even participation in the various activities being undertaken through the year.

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to speak to a member of staff who will be more than happy to help.

WELCOME BACK!

Camp 08

Our camp this year was amazing. A wonderful time at Bockleton in Tenbury Wells - water activities, climbing wall, competitions and wonderful walks in the countryside. A great week was had by all which will certainly live in the memories of those who were there.
