May 2016

The 2015-2016 session of the 3rd Inverness Boys Brigade came to an end on Friday 6th May with our Annual Display and Parent’s Night.

This year our Chief Guest was Morag Russell; the Russell’s and Fraser’s have an association with the Boys’ Brigade and Crown going back 45 years – it was great having Morag with us for the evening.

More than 50 Boys were in attendance at the display and it was great to see a full hall of parents, grandparents and friends packed into the hall.

Once again the highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Queen’s Badge to 2 young men. This year it was Craig Fraser and Dominic Syred who attained the highest award the Brigade can offer.
 
President’s Badges were also presented to Ross Beaton and Lewis Hilditch. George Burrows also achieved the President’s Badge but unfortunately couldn’t be there on the night due to illness.

A selection of photos has also been uploaded to our Facebook page – just search for 3rd Inverness Boys’ Brigade.

A good number of boys took part in the Battalion Sponsored Walk at Culloden. A big thank you to all those who turned up – a good afternoon was enjoyed by all.

The staff are all off for all well earned rest but we’ll be back raring to go again in August / September!!

Brilliant effort from Callum and Alistair in the Junior Section competition (nothing worse than a 2nd place finish in all races) - well worth it to see Ali's smile after winning the backstroke race!! Huge congratulations to Calum D as well who made the final of all strokes; Calum was runner-up in the front crawl but managed to win the breast-stroke and back crawl. Well done boys.

Let's see if we can get some more boys taking part next year!!!
