10th Bristol about us page

Parade Services are held at Hanham Methodist Church on around 7 special Sundays throughout the year and all boys are expected to attend, in uniform. Boys arrive at 10.20 am and meet in the Anchor Boys room. Parents are encouraged to stay for the Service which lasts about an hour, and to share in a cup of coffee afterwards. Following the Service, boys return to the Anchor Boys room from which they are dismissed.

We have an annual enrolment service in October at which boys make promises and receive membership cards. At this very important service we also issue promotions and awards.

Each year Junior and Company Sections attend Battalion Parades in October for Founders Day and in April. These are important Battalion events which take place at various locations in the area.
