Boys brigade - Does it still exist?

[johnpm 18]

Hi TFishcake, Thanks for the photo - I haven't got that one.

The ladies are , left - right, Dora Reynolds ( Ian and Barrie's mum who was a Life Boy leader), Valerie Whiteley and Jean Oldman (both people from church who must have gone to help).

Both Valerie and Jean still go to Grimesthorpe Chapel.

Any more would be gratefully received !

Cheers, John

I was in the 46th st peters, Heeley in the 70,s,

enjoyed it very much playing cricket in meersbrook park,

also marching around Heeley after church service, quite proud of the uniform we wore then. Still have it somewhere.

I wonder if anyone recognises anybody on here?

It was taken 12 Dec 1962 outside Buckingham Palace after a group of us from Sheffield had been presented with our Gold DEA Awards.

Right to left is Barry Trigg (Beck Road) ; next ?; John Spencer (Firth Park), Roger Stoney ( wasn't in BB but did his Gold expedition with us), me John Moore, ?, ? ,?

Any offers of names to fill the gaps?

John

Hi All

 

i was in the 29th Sheffield from 1968 to 1976.

 

Does anyone remember Ron Waterhouse, the Captain? Memorable officers would include Steve Gill, Keith Horner, Graham Commander and Barry Fitch.

 

Other posters mentioned Barry Trigg, an officer from a neighbouring company. We went on several camps with him in the early 70's - great fun!

 

Regards

Hi Terry, Thanks for your 2 latest photos. The bunker you talk about is the famous German Underground Hospital.

Both photos must have been taken when I was in Life Boys ie before 1955. On the one outside the boys club Harry Jarvis is stilll a boy in the company and there are quite a few I don't recognise. I will send it to Les Cusworth for him to pick out names.

Cheers, John

Oddly enough I was talking to a Scottish friend of mine the other day, and we discussed the BB. He was a former member back in Ayrshire, and I was a member out of Hillsborough Tabernacle from about 1978-82. We had some good times, including a great camping trip to the IOW.

 

Cheers for the memories
