Glad to hear the BB still has a presence in Hyndburm, to some it might appear as old fashioned but as an organisation that promotes obediance, reverence, discipline and self respect our community would a far better place pf these values were in place.

Ian - I also have good memories of the BB camps on Anglesey and particular Centenary Year in 1983 nd I agree the many friendships that are still going strong

My cousin, Derrick Turner (who was a lot older than me), was leader of the BB in Oswaldtwistle in the 60s and 70s.

Were you at Ibrox in 1983? I was in the mass brass band.
