13th boys brigade by Harry Atkins 15 October 2010Both my sons Steve and Andrew Atkins went to the 13th. I used to take the junior boys for football training on Saturdays and when they competed in the five a side tournaments, Mr Hussey and Captain Ball were the main officers,3 replies Malcolm Halley, 28 October zoom 13th Boys BrigadeI remember both of the names and last saw Adrian Ball at a funeral for my uncle, Peter Jackman, who was also an officer in the 13th. That was about 6 years ago. The only photo I have was taken when I was in the 13th Gymnastics team and we won the local competition. About 1967/68 . Hope this brings back more memories and if anyone knows any names that would be great. I’m second from the left front row but unfortunately I can’t remember any more names. Geoff Robbins, 1 NovemberWell I can 3 more names to this picture…..In the back row from L- R are my brother Bob Robbins, Andy Loveridge and (in white) Mick Benham. I also remember Andy & Mick from my time in the 13th (1969 – 76). I was never as good as Bob at PE so never made the team despite going to the PE nights run by Mick every week (Monday’s?).I remember the 13th and all its leaders with pleasure, they helped shape my life (as all good youth leaders would try) and I owe them a lot. Thank-you to all of them.Sadly, Bob passed away a couple of years ago. Malcolm Halley, 7 NovemberSorry to hear about Bob. He and all the older lads were a great credit to themselves in the way they treated and looked after us younger lads. It was a great organisation to be a part of.
