Knockout effort by Muirkirk BB
 But, not satisfied with the £600 they collected, the group decided they needed a few helping hands. The hands came all right . . . but in the shape of fists!
Boxing
James explained, “The children decided to hold an amateur boxing tournament in April, in a local hall, so we contacted a club in Motherwell.
“We ended up with 12 different boxing clubs from all over Scotland. The boys in the show were aged from about 12 to 17 and all got trophies.
“All those we contacted were very willing to get involved, especially when they found out what the charity was. Around 200-300 people attended and brigade members helped out on the night by collecting more donations, working in the tuckshop, and selling hot dogs.”
The show brought in another £400 and, at the annual Boys’ Brigade and Amicus display, a cheque for £1000 was presented to Cathy Jamieson MSP, Minister for Education. |
