What Is The Junior Section?

Junior Section is the middle age group in the Boys Brigade and is for boys aged 8-11 years old.

Our Junior section meets on Wednesday evenings between 6.00pm and 8.00pm in Talbot Road Methodist Church Hall (Richmond Road Entrance)

The section has usually had around 15-20 boys attending regularly per session, which makes for a good group for Wednesday night activities, which can get very energetic. many additional competitions and events.
