Camp 2010

Next year we are camping at Chideock, Dorset, at Glengarry Camp. Camp 2010 will hopefully comprise of Romsey BB & GB, Bath BB & GB and 1st Hucclecote GB Companies! Two or Three extra Companies will be welcome to camp with us!

Our Guest CO is Lt Helen Williams, Deputy Commissioner of The Girls' Brigade England & Wales.

The cost of camp for 2010 is £95 per head.

Each Company is responsible for arranging and providing their own transport at their own cost.

Any NEW Company interested in camping with us in 2010 should contact the Camp Organiser as soon as possible!

Please contact the Organiser, Peter Fitch, on 01225 429359 if you are interested in bringing your BB or GB Company to Stedfast Camp 2010.

Camp 2009

Everyone had a good time and we thank the dedicated staff who gave so much of their free time to be there to run the Camp for us!

We thank Stephen Stokes who came down from Cambridge to be a most able Commanding Officer and to our very much loved Rev. Danny Wheadon (an old-timer of Stedfast Camp!) who was our Camp Chaplain. Also to guests Helen and James who filled much important roles!

Planning takes a long time and the Quartermaster and Cook (Rodney and Tony) had been planning away for almost a year before camp to provide us with a very healthy and yummy menu for the week! Sadly, this year was Rod & Tony's last as QM and Cook as they had been providing training for next year's new QM and Cook who will be Kevin Stokes and Andy Moger! Now it's up to them!

Thanks to Sandy and her team who got camp moving with a most exciting programme, ably abetted by Alan Clark (another member of staff leaving!), and a memorable day out to "The Milky Way"!

Those behind the scenes, such as Colin, Vicky, Kay, Sam, Rob, Mark, Helen, Kayleigh, Ayden and the rest (sorry not to name you all) worked so hard to make sure that Stedfast Campers had a great time.

2nd Bournemouth BB provided a great camp with quality canvas, though it was a shame about the water and gas. Even so, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND their camps and we would like to go back again sometime soon!

Our host farmer - Steve Bedford - and his family were so welcoming and paid occasional visits to us during the week to make sure we were ok! It was great also how welcoming Rev. Les Austin and his parishoners were to us when we joined in worship at the Church Parade and when Les and his wife joined us for Camp Supper and Communion on the last evening of camp.

Finally a big THANKS to the campers who keep coming back to Stedfast Camp to enjoy the fun and friendship provided by The Boys' Brigade and The Girls' Brigade!

See you next year!
