Registration
Our membership fee for the current year is £30 per boy, which is largely made up of our
central annual subscription to Northern Ireland Boys’ Brigade headquarters.
Donations can be paid either by:
- Cheque made out to 1st Legacurry Company Boys’ Brigade and posted to Gareth
Martin, 5 Magheralave Manor, Lisburn, BT28 3EN - Bank transfer to the BB account noting the name of the boy(s) (1 st Legacurry
Company Boys’ Brigade, Ulster Bank, sort code 98-09-60, account number
13407433)
We don’t want any boy to miss out on the opportunity to take part in BB activities and so
please contact the leader in charge if fees are an issue.
We have the chance to increase the value of our annual subscriptions by claiming gift aid.
This may be by as much as 25% of the annual subscriptions. By completing a declaration as
part of the registration form we will be able to claim an income tax repayment from Her
Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC). This is part of the Gift Aid scheme which came
into force on 6th April 2000. Members’ subscriptions are a major source of income and being
able to reclaim the tax will be a useful addition to Company funds.
The registration form and gift aid declaration should be completed here prior to attending Boys’ Brigade.
Uniform
For details in respect to uniform please speak to the leader in charge of each section. We will have a swap shop running during the first few weeks with items of uniform available for a small donation.
Uniform can also be obtained from the BB shop with details below here: https://belfastbb.org.uk/stedfastsupplies/.
If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions please let me know contact Gareth Martin (Captain) at gsmartin@hotmail.co.uk or 07966 066265 with any queries.
