221st company, Drumchapel. From Lifeboys through to Boys Brigade, officers were Tom Pickering, Sam Gray, Gordon Gallagher and Bert Campbell. Met at Cleddans Primary school every Friday, great memories, a great institution.
What age are you mateI had many a year in the 44th Glasgow. Biggest and best.
My boy goes there now and is about to head to camp at seahouses on Monday. Only 18 boys going. Nearly 50 when I went.
Still a great time in a boys life.
We did indeed, not just the one team but three, a lot of good players were in the 221st.And a great football team back in the dim and distant past.

Sad news. An amazing man.From the Facebook page Partick People.
JOHN ROGERS B.E.M
Ex Captain 108 BB Partick
Very sad news today that John Rogers ( Jolly ) has passed away this morning, aged 90. He has succumbed to a worsening of his dementia and was not taken by the coronavirus. John served as an officer in the B.B. for several decades and had a positive influence on the lives of many hundreds of boys and their families, and a debt of gratitude is felt by all. This kind, selfless and dedicated man was a true Partick Legend. Due to the virus restrictions he will not receive the send off he deserves and it is hoped that some sort of memorial service/event can be arranged in the future to mark his passing and his life. RIP.

My Old Uncle lives in that Estate. An Ex BB Boy in his younger daysThe church is still there .The school mysteriously burn down on a Friday evening if i remember rightly . Such a shame it took the authorities so long to get there that another listed building couldn't be saved . But never mind a nice estate of privately owned houses sits on the site today .
