Some of the older Boys who are working for their Duke of Edinburgh ' s Bronze Award have been attending on Wednesday nights , training for their expedition , trying to build up their fitness level for their physical achievement and learning some first aid . Great attempts at putting slings on !!! Just don ' t break your arm in the near future ! Their first outing on the hills was a washout , but hopefully their next one will be blessed with better weather .
Some Juniors and Anchor Boys spent a busy and fun day at the David Livingstone Centre in Blantyre to mark the 200 th Anniversary of his birth . They played games , made things and learned some African choruses . ( Don ’ t ask us now what they were !) The sun shone and we had to make sure that we had sunscreen on .
