Boys Brigade Award Presentations


Also on Monday 11 September I was asked to attend the 30th anniversary celebrations of Newbury’s Boys Brigade at the Baptist Church in Cheap Street. After a short service, I helped hand out some special awards for ‘best boy’ in the Anchor Boys, the Junior Section and the Company Section.

At the refreshments afterwards I browsed through the photos and press cuttings on display, and was amused to read the ones from the 1970’s when the Boys Brigade kidnapped the Mayor of Newbury Doug Lawrence and held him to ransom. I hope they aren’t getting any ideas!
