The Magnificent 7th Company has been suspended
|
7th Edinburgh
Boys' Brigade Company At a meeting held in late August 2021, it was agreed unanimously that, after receiving very few offers of help from all the sources contacted, the 7th Edinburgh Boys' Brigade Company is no longer able to continue. It has therefore been decided that the 'Magnificent 7th' will have to be suspended, primarily due to a lack of leaders. However, it is planned that this will be carried out in such a way that we will have the option of restarting, if new leaders emerge in the future. The Battalion representative made generous comments about the past successes of the 7th BBs and thanks and appreciation were expressed to every leader, past and present, for their work over many years. It is hoped that any of the boys wishing to continue, will be able to join another local company. Contact details will be provided for them and also for any badge work that needs to be completed. It was also agreed that a service of celebration, marking the achievements of the 7th Edinburgh Boys’ Brigade, should be held at Colinton Parish Church at a future date when it is hoped that Covid-19 restrictions will have eased further. This will be agreed with the Minister in due course. |
