DaveD 1 Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 I was never a member of any of those organisations, but I remember seeing the BB and others marching musically through the streets of Clifton on Sunday mornings. I don't think I ever wanted to be part of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
