Wallingford & Didcot Boys' Brigade
Description
The Boys' Brigade and Girls' Association in the Wallingford area The Boys' Brigade and Girls Association in Wallingford was founded in 2005 and now consists of:
1st Wallingford Company
3rd Wallingford Company
1st Didcot Company
2nd Didcot Company
Upper Thames Water Sports Centre
The first Company expanded in 2013 with the opening of the 3rd Wallingford on 9th April 2013 and again on 17th September 2015 with the addition of 1st Didcot. The 3 Companies share 2 Captain and 4 staff members. The 1st Wallingford also has a further 9 members of staff. The BB in Wallingford also run The Upper Thames Water Sports Centre. The further sports will be added when the centre has its own base. The Sports Centre also run Rowing courses for the BB and uses staffing drawn from both Companies aswell as having its own coach.
Activities at the BB companies in Wallingford are very traditional. BB companies wear hats including all officers. The BB pro packs are used.
The young people are encouraged to take services at Cholsey Free Church (Baptist).
In the comming years we are looking to expand again and would also like to appoint 2 part time Christian youth develpment officers. In 2017 we are looking to appoint a fundraiser. This person will need to raise about £20K a year to fund the 2 posts.
Other Wallingford activities include the mid-summer night hike, summer camp, summer BBQ, Sports day, Nativity, Wallingford Carnival, Cholsey Mayday, Kayak race and an Easter Sports camp.
