Extract from guestbook August 2002,
Tom Petit, East Kilbride
Good to
see the Boys Brigade getting a mention I was a
member of the 106th
at St Clements church on the London Rd.
In it's time it formed a great part of my life
from the life boys to the boys brigade great
years. I remember going to Girvan on my first
camp with a company from Springfield Rd.
A few names I remember D Ford, J Bell , R Bigger
the captain was Mr McCulloch,. |

Extract from e-mail
July 2004, Jan Page.
".....I came across
this old BB photograph, I think it may have
been St Clement's Parish Church
BB. Certainly Bridgeton Group. Sorry I
don't have any other information other than
it is a Bridgeton BB company."

John Paton, Australia,
".............. the church on the corner of London Rd &
Brook Street the
106th BB this is
where I went to Sunday school, shipmates,
lifeboys and the BB. till it closed down in 1967
Then I went to St Francis
in the east church where I joined the
228th BB being
captained by Neil Dunn who as you said
Webmaister was a top bloke I was there till
1970 and it was one of the best times in my
life.
When I left
Dalmarnock school I went to Bernard Street
school........... I phoned my old man on
Sunday to get him to look out as many photos
as he can find, of the B.B. and my old schools
if they are any good I will scan them and
email them to you........ |
