Ten Pin Bowling The District Ten Pin Bowling night has been arranged for Tuesday 18 March 2008 at its usual venue Pro Bowl in Stroud Road East Kilbride. The cost this year is £9 for two games and is subject to everyone being paid in before 6pm otherwise the cost rises alarmingly. The event is open to all Company section ages and is generally a very good night.

If any Junior Section Boys want to come with their dads they can have two games at the same price and will not be competing with the older Boy so it should be a good night for the younger Boys as well.

I will be there to start the event off but have to come back to the Church as its the Stated Annual Meeting. This means that on Friday i'd like to know if any parents can help with transport and also stay during the games to supervise along with the other Company Officers present. parents will be most welcome to have a game as well. The usual burger chips and coke is also available along with many other eats. Prices are about £2.49 for a children's meal. Hope to see as many of you out as possible

Go Karting - Successful Night Out

27 places were taken at The Garage for a night of Go Karting, Ten Pin Bowling and Pool. It was a great night out of fun for those attending. This is something we will do again and its an ideal venue for family outings especially is a few get together as it means that the group all keep together with no others joining them. Many thanks to all the dads who came and supported the event. Sorry about the images above being so dark but they look slightly better in a bigger size. Thanks to Murray Shaw for passing them on.

Tonight the Junior Section had a halloween party and were variously dressed to scare. The BOYS had a great night and were not at all scared by the very real looking jelly beetles that were used to sit on a plate of chocolate marshmallows. A great deal of fun was had.
