47TH CULTER BOYS BRIGADE

FIRSTLY, may I apologise to all readers for the BB not having an entry in the last Culter Courier, mainly due to the fact that I found myself away most of the Summer months with the organisation!

The Boys are now well into their new session meeting every Thursday evening at Culter School Anchor Boys are enjoying various craft work, along with their usual sports and games. Junior Section continues with weekly inspection, drill, badgework, and also enjoying sports and games. Members of Company Section are being inspected every week in their squads before some marching and discipline. They have been very busy with their badgework programme recently, including tidying the streets of Culter for their Community Badge. All three sections will be enjoying their usual Christmas Parties next month before a break for the festive period.

A reminder of the times for each section on a Thursday evening at Culter School :

Anchor Boys

6 – 7.30pm

Junior Section

6.30pm – 8.00pm

Company Section

7.30pm – 9.00pm

Best Wishes

CULTER PIPE BANDS

WE ARE delighted to announce that our senior pipe band, Culter & District, will once again be competing on the formal circuit in the forthcoming competition season. Along with our youngsters of the 47th Culter BB Pipe Band, the village will once more be represented on the national and international arenas by two pipe bands. Sustaining both bands competitively is a major fundraising challenge and one which relies on the community support afforded by the generous residents of Culter. On behalf of the Culter Pipe Bands, we thank Culter's residents for their continued support.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year

Greg Reid

Culter Pipe Bands’ Committee Chairman
