125th AnniversaryThis session sees the 5th Glasgow Boys Brigade celebrating 125 years since the company's formation. On 30th March 1885, some eighteen months after the foundation of The Boys' Brigade, the 5th Glasgow Company was enrolled. This makes us the second oldest functioning company in the world, (the 2nd, 3rd & 4th are no longer in existence). To celebrate our 125th anniversary we have a number of exciting events lined up to mark this historic milestone:
We are looking for as many past members of the 5th Glasgow to come along to these events as possible, (particularly the dinner). If you would like to attend please email us at 5thglasgow@boys-brigade.org.uk so we can keep you updated of the event details once final numbers have been confirmed. If you are still in contact with any other ex-members can you spread the word too! |

125th Anniversary Fish Supper Quiz night
We held a Fish Supper Quiz night on Saturday 28th November 2009 to celebrate our 125th anniversary with friends, family & members
of the church congregation. Around 80 people joined in the fun, with about 15 teams competing for big prizes! The evening saw them
test their knowledge with rounds including Geography, Literature & Music. Halfway through the quiz the competitors took a wee break from racking their brains and tucked into a Fish Supper from the local chip shop. The competition for the top 3 slots was very
competitive but unfortunately at the other end of the points table 'Bagpackers United', Douglas, Connor & Andrew claimed the wooden
spoon (& some sweets) for last place! Thanks again for all who came along and made it such a good evening, we might just run it
again next year, watch this space!

If anyone has an orange 5th football strip please can they return them to a member of staff or email us. During the 5-a-side competition this session it became apparent that strips taken home to be washed by members of the football team last session (07-08) had not been returned.

If anyone has band instruments belonging to the 5th like bugles, drum slings, drumsticks or drum rests please can they return them as soon as possible to a member of the 5th or email us.
