The staff of the 167th have been carefully monitoring the outbreak of the Coronavirus across the UK and keeping up to date with advice issued by UK Government and other relevant authorities.

Following new Government advice issued today that everyone should stop non-essential contact with others and stop all unnecessary travel, it has been concluded that all BB weekly meetings/activities, events and trips should be immediately suspended. This takes effect as of Monday 16th March 2020 at 21:00.

As such there will be no further BB activities until further notice. Unfortunately this includes our planned holiday to Kirkham.

Parents of boys scheduled to attend Kirkham are requested to come to the church between 19:30 and 20:00 on Wednesday 18th March to receive a full refund.

Please, stay safe.

Regards,
Staff of 167th Glasgow

This year is our 43rd Annual Reunion Dinner and AGM which will be held on Friday 28th February.

We had a great turn out last year totalling 35 Members and raised £750 for the Company through subscriptions and participation in the raffle. It would be fantastic to beat those numbers this year so make sure you put the date in your diary and arrange to join us!

We have decided to return to last years’ venue, Ralston Golf Club, Strathmore Avenue, Ralston, PA1 3DT.

The price will remain the same as last year in the hope of encouraging more Members and “younger” Members to attend. If you have any contact details of ex-Members who may not have received this letter please send us a message in order that we can extend an invitation to them to join us.

The price of the evening is £25. The price for “younger” Members (under 20) and “older” Members is £20. For those of you who don’t already pay your subscription by Standing Order, £7 is due per Member, and it would be appreciated if Members could pay this prior to the evening of 28th February.

Payment details can be provided upon request by messaging via the Event on the Ex-Members Facebook page.

Annual Holiday to Kirkham

Parents are reminded that Wednesday 5th February is the deadline for deposits for boys wishing to attend the holiday. Deposits are £30.

VR Driving

Boys who have said they are attending this event are reminded they have to be at the church for 17:45 on Wednesday 5th February. The total cost of the event is £30pp which includes up to 3hrs of unlimited racing. Boys will be dropped off at home upon return from the event.

Only boys who previously advised they were attending can do so as this is a booked event. There is no meeting for boys not attending the VR driving.
