Kidderminster Carnival on Saturday 19th June

The 1st Kidderminster Boys' Brigade took part in the Kidderminster Carnival on Saturday 19th June.

Our BB and GB Brigade band led the parade along its route across town playing for two hours. This led us to Brintons Park where we had a display stand. The stand had banners advertising the Company and also the Worcestershire Battalion. We had a lucky dip and splat the rat for people to have a go on to raise some money and also we gave up plenty of leaflets to attract new members.

The photos show our display stand and we hope we showed people that Boys' Brigade is still alive and well.

Anchors Away Sports Day 12th June 2010

The Anchors Sports Day was held at Carters Lane on a sunny Saturday afternoon and was a complete success. 8 Companies with a total of 28 anchor boys and girls took part in the egg and spoon race, beanbag challenge and sack race to name just a few. There were 7 events with a Bronze, Silver and Gold position in each event. There were three age group categories 4-5, 6 and 7-8 years and everyone who took part had a fab time.

Bravely the officers could not escape and were roped or should I say sacked into taking part in …yep you got the Sack Race- winners cannot be disclosed on pain of death but the noise from the anchors in support was superb. Next year there will be best scores to win. It was a pleasure to have Kath James HVP on hand to support and give out certificates, there were so many achievers Kath’s hand nearly dropped off, and we ran out of certificates. A truly great day and all thanks to Sue and her team for organising a great day.
