There was a slight worry that moving the end-of-year BBQ from Tuesday to Thursday due to Tuesday’s extreme heat would result in rain showers and a BBQ indoors, which was far from the desired outcome. Luckily, this proved not to be the case, as weather conditions were optimal for a BBQ and playing games outside in the Galilee Gardens.
Over 40 children and their families attended the BBQ and with only 60 burgers to go round, this unfortunately meant that not everyone could have a second burger – at least we didn’t have any food left over! Everyone seemed to enjoy the burgers and each other’s company, as the Anchors and Juniors played games and parents chatted to one another around the tables.
Meanwhile, members of the Company section assisted the staff in ensuring that everything ran smoothly, from frying the onions to making sure that everyone had drinks. Thanks go out to them for making the lives of the staff easier!
After the BBQ, everyone headed inside for the Awards’ Presentation, where all the members were awarded badges and recognised for all the work they have achieved this year. Although Covid did scupper some of our sessions for a few weeks, it’s been a real blessing that we’ve more or less been able to get back to normal this year.
Boys’ Brigade and Girls’ Association will resume once again after the summer holidays on Tuesday 13th September. If your child would like to join us in September for the new school year, do get in touch with us.
For now, we hope and pray that you have a good Summer – see you in September!
