First meetings complete

 A good first meeting for each of the sections. The Boys' enjoyed their meetings and from a leader's perspective it was good to see them again. Now to start planning for the next one.

BB: Virtual Re-Start Details

Hi All,

We are all set for the virtual re-start this Tuesday 15th September and look forward to seeing and hearing from everyone, the sections will meet at the following times: -

Details have been sent to the parents, please check your inbox (or spam if you don't see it) - if you haven't received the details please contact your son's section leader.

Parents - please ensure anchor and junior section boys are accompanied by an adult during the session.

We recognise this format will not suit all the lads but please encourage them to give it a chance. As leaders we will be learning and looking for the best way to engage with all the lads and will adapt the sessions as we go forward. It will be great to see their faces even if they are not comfortable with joining the conversation, there will be the option to use the chat function or feedback with thumbs up, etc. 

What You'll Need

Anchors - Treasure Hunt Bingo

• Treasure Hunt Bingo Print Out
• Scissors
• Glue
• Pen / Pencil

Please print out the attached 'Treasure Hunt Bingo' sheet and cut out the pictures ready to play. You may want to stick the picture to the grid. If you are unable to print you can draw the grid based on the on the sheet and mark / draw where the picture would go. Feel free to come dressed in your best pirate outfit.

Juniors - What I did This Summer

We will be exploring what adventures everyone got over the summer, in particular think new or exciting places you have visiting or activities.

Company - Blockbuster and Pound Drop

• 4 Sheet of Paper
• 40 Counters (tiddly winks, pennies or small squares of paper)

Notes:
1) Normally we would be promoting the lads between sections, but while we meet virtually we will continue to meet in the same sections as last term to keep familiarly and minimise change.
2) We will not be collecting subs this term, so please don't make any bank transfers.
3) You will receive a second email requesting your details on OBM are correct, please ensure these are review and confirmed asap.

See you Tuesday

BB: Virtual Re-Start in Autumn 2020

Hope you have been able to enjoy the summer and the return to school has gone smoothly especially those starting a new school. I'm sure it will come as no surprise that BB is not yet able to meet back face to face and this is likely to be the case until November at the very earliest.

As leaders we met last week and agreed the importance of maintaining the lad's friendships with both each other and the leaders, so from the September 15th we will be running short online interactive sessions via Zoom every other week until October half term. 

The full details will be communicated later this week once details have been finalised, this will be a new experience for us all but really hope this is something you can get involve with.

Take Care
