Re: boys brigade

oooo, fair does, I only recall seeing Rishtons picture in teh Observer.

It was a brilliant thing that I still have a lot of friends from.

Camping in Angelsey are still some of my fondest childhood memories

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
