Dalmatnock Cong Church, Fairbairn Street,
amalgamated with the 241st BB Bethany Hall Church |
Church :
Dalmarnock Congregational Church, Fairbairn
Street, Bridgeton
Meetings : Dalmarnock
Congregational Church, Bethany Hall &
Barrowfield primary school |
.
The 175th
company amalgamated with the Bethany Hall BB
company the 241st Glasgow to become the 154th.
(c1967/68)
We held our meetings in Dalmarnock Cong
church and the Bethany Hall in Bernard Street
before finally using in Barrowfield primary
school.
The amalgamation had another advantage in
that they also had a fantastic Girls Brigade
Company!
Great for the church socials!
Robert Smart, William Sloan, Bert Tweedie then
Willie McKnight went on to become captains of
the company..

and Company number. Brigton forever! Aw ra
best. |
