Dear Fellow Officers,
Brigade Council will meet in Belfast during the weekend Friday 6th to Sunday 8th September 2013. A programme of events including a Civic Reception at City Hall to mark the 125th Anniversary of The Boys Brigade in Ireland, the Annual General Meeting of The Boys' Brigade and a Sunday morning service is being organised. As this is the AGM of the Brigade I trust East Antrim Battalion will be well represented. I will be there so if you wish to record a vote you can do so via proxy.
The Battalion has continued to function with less meetings but hopefully still communicating with officers via the website, quarterly newsletters and facebook. If you don’t receive this information like us on facebook and register your e-mail on the website. Please remember we still hold two meeting per session and you can find the dates below.
The website continues to be our main communication tool and we have had over 1,000,000 hits in last year and averaging 2000 visitors a month. Please make sure you keep up to date by visiting the site regularly and if you are involved with competitions or events please email a report to [email protected] so that the site is kept up to date.
In April we held a very successful quiz evening in Ballynure and that event replaced our AGM.
During April 2014 we will hold our tri annual AGM with election of Officers over a meal in Ballylinney. I would ask that each company take a particular interest in this event. Please not that our Secretary has indicated her intentions to stand down and all other posts are up for re-election. The Battalion constitution only allows for 2 three year terms.
I would like to express my appreciation to all officers who worked at District, Company and Battalion level throughout the last session.
As we celebrate 125th years of BB in Ireland I invite all companies to join us at our Annual Church Parade and dedication of Officers on Sunday 6th Octobers in 1st Larne. We invite Anchors to line the route with Juniors and Company parading. Full details of the route and times will be e-mail to all captains and posted on the website.
The Battalion hope to be presenting each company with a small gift to mark the occasion.
So at the start of a new session can I encourage you to get involved more with your Company. Give that little bit extra and collectively we can achieve our object of Advancing Christ's Kingdom among boys.
God bless you in this new session.
Yours sincerely
Drew Buchanan MBE Battalion President

THE ANNUAL EXECUTIVE REPORT 2012 -2013 FOR EAST ANTRIM BATTALION
As another session is drawing to a close we want to give thanks to Our Lord and Saviour for all the goodness that He has bestowed upon us during the last year. We give thanks for the foresight of our founder William Alexander Smith as we celebrate 125 years of Boys’ Brigade in Northern Ireland. 2012 -2013 has been yet another busy year within our Battalion.
In August 2012 we were privileged and honoured to be part of Her Majesty the Queens’ Diamond Jubilee Celebrations. We were the first Boys’ Brigade Battalion in Northern Ireland to receive the message from Her Majesty as it travelled around Ireland and the United Kingdom. Officers and Boys from all sections along with the Mayor of the Borough and a local MP met in 1st Carrickfergus for a short service and light supper. Many photographs were taken.
On Sunday 7th October 2012 we held our Annual Battalion Church Parade and Officers Dedication Service in Carrickfergus which was attended by the Deputy Mayor. We were again blessed with wonderful weather and a wonderful attendance of 16 out of 23 Companies present, it was very rewarding to witness Saint Nicholas Church packed with Officers and Boys from the Boys’ Brigade. The Christian Education Exam trophies were presented, congratulations to all who received a trophy and gift voucher. Also congratulations to 1st Raloo Junior Section who were awarded the Fitzell Trophy and 8th Carrickfergus Company who were awarded the McCune Trophy.
The year was very busy with lots of competitions being held at Company section level, Golf, Indoor Bowls, Table Tennis, 5-a-side and 7-a-side Football tournaments, Volleyball and Badminton. Thanks to all the officers who arranged and organised these competitions.
The Junior Section also had a busy year with 3rd Ballyclare finishing runners up in the NID Quiz Kids Final. 1st Raloo will represent our Battalion in the NID Figure Marching Competition. Many congratulations to Daniel Sharpe of 2nd Carrickfergus and Timothy Moore of 3rd Ballyclare who finished in 1st and 2nd place in the Young Musician of the Year competition.
Anchors also had a busy and varied year with Colouring in competitions and Fun and Games night.
Congratulations to all boys from all sections who won trophies.
All these events and competition could not be held if it were not for the dedication of all the officers who arrange each event. We would like to express our thanks to all the Officers and Leaders who work hard each and every week within the Battalion, we appreciate the loyalty and work that is carried out with the aim of the Boys’ Brigade, the Advancement of Christ’s Kingdom amongst boys, being the centre of this work. The Executive hope and pray that all officers are continuing to prepare and provide a varied programme for all boys at all levels for the next upcoming session starting September 2013.
We also would like to express our thanks to all those who are involved in duties at NID level and thank them for all their hard work at that level.
The Executive would also like to pass on many congratulations to 1st Greenisland and 2nd Carrickfergus who are both celebrating their 75th Anniversary this year. Also many congratulations to 8th Carrickfergus who are celebrating their 21st Anniversary.
The Executive wishes everyone who is attending holiday or camp weekends a safe and rewarding experience.
6
We also would like to wish all Officers and Boys a refreshing break from Boys’ Brigade during the summer and pray that each and everyone will return renewed and ready for the new session in September 2013.
I present this report on behalf of the Battalion Executive.

Battalion Executive
8
The Battalion Executive consists of the following members: 1. Battalion President and chair of Executive – 2. Vice Presidents (chair of section councils) as elected by each section to represent and feedback from Council meetings; Company Section – Junior Section – Anchors – 3. Secretary – 4. Treasurer, to administer the finances of the Battalion including dues, expenses and sources of income/funding – 5. Chaplain – 6. Training Officer, representing the training committee dealing with all aspects of training within the Battalion – 7. Northern Ireland District Executive Representative – 8. One elected representative from each section; Company Section – Junior Section – Anchors – All its members are elected at each Council meeting or the AGM.
Whilst each section council will deal with their own affairs, i.e. competitions, sports, training etc, the Executive serves as a forum to facilitate discussion of issues common to all sections, control finance, offer assistance and guidance, and represent local concerns at regional and district levels.
To assist the Executive as they seek to be of assistance to Companies of the Battalion, a series of informal visitations are arranged to facilitate an opportunity to meet with individual companies and their officers. This is not an inspection, but an opportunity to meet, learn and share together, with input available from the visitors (with prior arrangement!). As the visit is informal there is no feedback as such, general comments will be shared and the visit noted at the next Executive meeting.
The Executive is yours, elected by you, seeking to serve you. If you have any queries with regard to the Battalion, or problems within your Company, contact the secretary in confidence for assistance.
