Remembrance Sunday
This Sunday is the annual Rememberance Sunday Parade in Bothwell.
As usual the Company will be leading the parade. It is very important that we have a full turnout at this event.
This is a significant event in the life of the village and many of the older members of the church really appreciate seeing the Boys parading.
Junior and Company Section to meet at Waverly Court - off Fallside Road - by 10.10am
Anchor Boys to meet at the hall between 10.20 and 10.30.
Boys should wear full Uniform. It can be cold in Novenber so I would suggest that your son wears a couple of t-shirts under his uniform.
This is one of the major events in both the Brigade and nation's calendar. It is particularly poignant these days when many of
our armed services are on active service overseas, and it would be greatly appreciated if all Boys could make this Service and Parade their priority for Sunday morning.

Other Information
The Company is always looking for new members - both Boys and Officers. We have a dedicated group of Volunteers who work
with the boys - and get just as much out of being part of the Company. We will give regular updates to this page on what we are
doing but if you want to see for yourself come along on a Friday night and join in.
