Enrolment Parade - Session 2009/2010

The Company's Enrolment Parade this year was to Baljaffray Parish Church. The Rev. Dr Ian McEwan made the Boys from all 3 Sections feel most welcome with an inter-active address for the Boys. Thanks to members of the Company's Pipe and Bugle Band for their efforts on the Parade. Also, thanks to the Parents who came and supported the Boys.

The Central Churches of Bearsden, to which 1st Bearsden are attached, take it turn to host and conduct Parade Services, such as our annual Enrolment Service. Later this Session, we will parade to another of the churches to which we are attached, Bearsden Cross Parish Church.
