Every year at our annual Awards night, we acknowledge the personal contribution of every boy from each of our 3 sections for their efforts throughout the year. In addition, we recognise the special efforts of a small number of boys who have made an exceptional contribution to the work of the BB in Forres. Our warmest congratulations to the award winners.
In what has been an exciting and action-packed year, we would like to thank most sincerely every boy, parent and BB supporter who has remained with us and indeed those new boys who have joined us. Your support and commitment has never wavered throughout the year.
Our most grateful thanks go to our small group of loyal officers whose support and help has been exceptional and without whom we could not function as a Company. Lastly, our thanks to our Chaplain whose kind words and constant support have helped maintain our faith in, and commitment to, the BB during this year.
We also want to especially recognise the key contributions of a number of boys at a couple of events during the year.
Our 10 stars of Abernethy deserve a special mention for their participation and commitment at this event which again lasted 3 days this year. Warmest thanks to Kaiden Lonie, Freddie Allan, Gus Laing, Ewan McKay, Deacon Sutcliffe, Jack Gray, Kayden Sutcliffe, Liam Clapperton, Danny Jack and Jordan Johnson.
