Hello was anyone else on this site a member of the Clifton Boys Brigade.  I joined (cohersed) by a teacher called Mr May at Fairham comprehensive in about 1959, practising at the school and also in a old nisan hut on Lanthwaite road.

Apart from the usual role call,kit inspection, first aid instruction, football teams and parade drill we went to camps at Skegness. I managed to progress to playing the bugle (painfully out of tune) which unfortunately meant attending church parades. But general a great experience.

I did, a little earlier than 1959, the leader was a Mr Dabell who lived on Wheatacre Rd - it was not a good experience...
