2015 sees 25th Stirling (Dunblane) Boys’ Brigade celebrate 115 years since the founding of the company – in its original 1st Dunblane form – back in 1900. To mark the occasion, a number of events are being held on the weekend of 2nd-4th October including a reunion dinner to which all former members and officers of the company are invited.

The dinner will be held in the Victoria Hall, Dunblane at 7.30pm. Tickets are £25 per person and include a three-course meal. A cash bar will be available on the night. All proceeds from the evening will go to Dunblane BB funds to help support the programme for its current 200 boys and officers.

Former captains and officers from yesteryear have been lined up to tell some stories of BB years gone by and we invite you to bring along any photographs, uniform, badges or other BB paraphernalia to share. Entertainment will be provided at the beginning of the night by the Boys’ Brigade band.

To reserve a ticket, please e-mail info@dunblanebb.org.uk or call 01786 821387. Alternatively, you can purchase online straight away at Eventbrite (no additional fee).

You can also check the Facebook event page to see who else is planning to come.

Enrolment for all sections of Dunblane BB will take place on Friday 21st August between 6pm and 8pm at Dunblane Cathedral Hall. It’s a drop-in evening so come along at any time to hand in forms, make subscription payments and purchase new or second-hand uniform.

Please note that we will be operating some waiting lists, where necessary, for some age groups.

Dunblane Boys’ Brigade is holding a huge summer appeal collection for Startup Stirling’s crisis food bank. We are responding to a very tough situation which occurs in the summer months when demand is highest yet supplies are at their lowest.

The collection will take place on Friday 19th June between 5.30 and 8.00pm in Dunblane Cathedral Hall. All donations of non-perishable foodstuffs, toiletries, household supplies, baby products, etc. will be gratefully received. Cash or cheque donations to help towards fresh food can also be made.

Why is the need so great in summer? There are many reasons, but here are the key ones:
In the summer, children are off school, hence they have no access to free school meals or breakfast clubs, which can normally provide two meals per day for children of families in need.
Working families may have to shell out more in the holidays for child care or activities to allow them to keep working, hence less money for food for themselves, as adults.
During the holidays, people who normally donate are away and so donations drop off significantly.
Organisations such as our own, which hold regular monthly collections, are on a break and so, again, supplies into the food bank diminish.

All of these factors add up to create a very tough situation. We don’t want to see Startup Stirling’s food bank shelves go bare over the summer, but that is a very real possibility. However, if the people of Dunblane can respond in great number, we can collect enough in one night to ensure this doesn’t happen.

What should I donate?

FOOD: Cereals, cereal bars, tinned fish/meat, tinned soup/veg/beans etc., rice, pasta, jam, peanut butter, cook-in sauces for pasta/rice, dried soups, instant meals (non-perishable), biscuits/oatcakes, condiments, tea/coffee/hot chocolate, sugar, UHT/long-life milk, diluting juice, tinned fruit/desserts, condiments.

HOUSEHOLD: kitchen roll, toilet roll, scourers, washing-up liquid, hand-soap, multi-purpose cleaner, shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, shower gel, shaving foam/gel, razors, tampons.

BABY SUPPLIES: wipes, cream, nappies, etc.

You can also donate cash or cheques (payable to ‘Startup Stirling’) on the night. These will go towards providing fresh fruit and vegetables etc along with the packs which are sent out using donated food. Thanks for your support. For more information about Startup Stirling, see www.startupstirling.org.uk

Everyone is invited to the Annual Display and Prizegiving on Saturday 23rd May at 6.00pm in the Dunblane Centre. Please note the earlier start time this year, which is due to an event in the Dunblane Centre the next morning.

All sections of the Company will fall in and perform a variety of entertainment, showcasing some of the skills and talents they have gained or improved over the session, and they will be inspected by Lieut. Darren Empson, Captain of 1st Tulliallan Coy., The Boys’ Brigade. The BB Band will play during the proceedings to entertain you during changeover times and the prizeigiving and awards ceremony will feature 11 Queen’s Badges and 19 President’s Badges, as well as several Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards at bronze, silver and gold levels.

Refreshments will be served in the cafe area of the Dunblane Centre afterwards, at around 9.00pm. All are welcome to join us for this evening of celebration and acknowledgement of the achievements of 190 boys. Boys themselves must arrive before 5.30pm in order to be in place for the Company photograph at that time. Copies of the photograph can be ordered online at http://goo.gl/forms/ka7Z4FuLgn

For more information, please call 823192 or e-mail via this website ‘contact us’ page. PageLines- bb_dunblane_group_shot.jpg

Our Junior Section, which meets on Friday evening, has places available for boys in P4 and P5 at the moment. Junior Section provides a huge variety of activities for boys, based around earning badges, having fun, keeping fit and learning skills for life in a Christian environment. Competitions, trips, weekends away, walks, swimming and joint activities with other local BB groups expand the programme beyond the hall on a Friday, too.

Normal meeting time is a Friday 6.10-7.45pm at the Cathedral Hall. We would be glad to welcome boys in P4/5. However, there is currently a waiting list for P6 (and also for P3 in Anchor Boys). Please call 821387 or e-mail info@dunblanebb.org.uk to get more information.

We are delighted to launch our 2014 Advent Appeal with the above title. Our P7 boys are organising this appeal in conjunction with our BB Christmas Carol Service on Sunday 14th December at 6.30pm in St. Blane’s Church.

The appeal is to support our close friends at Startup Stirling, who provide much-needed and increasingly-demanded crisis food bank services to over 100 people in the area every week. The boys are asking you to reflect on how we can best spent our money and time this Christmas season and are all aiming to run their own Christmas Coffee events in their homes, welcoming others and asking them to contribute to Startup Stirling’s food bank at the same time.

If you organise your own, or attend one of these events, don’t forget to share a photo (with appropriate permission) on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #passthepresenton

More details – and a kit to help you organise your own event, too – are contained in the Word document below.
