| Stay-awake-athon |
|---|
| Towards the end of last year, Boys from the 36th Bristol Junior and Company Sections took part in a "Stay-awake-athon", at Bethesda Methodist Church, to raise money for Bethesda's refurbishment. What is a Stay-awake-athon, I hear you ask - well it's the opposite to a sleep over. At a stay-awake-athon, the Boys try to stay awake all night. We meet at 8pm, Friday night and try to stay awake right through till 8am Saturday morning. Us officers, never cease to be amazed at how much energy our Boys have, as some of the Officers were flagging at 3am, having a rest on the settee in the "Film Lounge", most of the Boys were still playing football (in the Church - don't tell anyone!), or snooker, or table-tennis. There were also opportunities for quiet pursuits, or eating (toast was available all night). We rounded up the event by sitting down for a good breakfast - followed by the officers sneaking home for a sleep! We are pleased to be able to pass on £370 to our Church for their refurbishment fund, and would like to thank everyone who sponsored us. |

The Gazette, the official BB publication, is available on-line at the BBUK website. http://www.boys-brigade.org.uk To save duplication, the Strathkelvin webpages no longer carries the Gazette on-line.
