Thursday June 16

Hi Guys,

What's happening on Thursday this week? Well, it depends on the weather.

If we've got good weather the plan is to go canoeing on Como Lake. Be at the church about 6:45pm and we'll head for the lake right at 7:00. If you get to the church and we're not there and it is after 7pm then we'll meet up with you at Como Lake. Don't worry about missing us at the lake as it isn't that big of a lake.

If the weather is not so good (i.e. raining) then the plan is to do some board type games with snacks in the basement.

See you then,

Lt. Garth

Airsoft on Thursday the 9th

Hi guys,

This Thursday the plan is to do some AirSoft. If you have AirSoft gear please bring it if you can. We will have some gear that Battalion has but it is good if you can bring your own if possible.

See you on Thursday 7pm at the church.

Year End BBQ - Captain's email

Guys,

Battalion's year end BBQ is set for this Thursday, June 2, 2011.

Rain or shine.

We'll meet at the church at 6pm, and leave about five minutes later... 6:05pm, so that we can arrive at Belcarra Park around 6:30pm. We can provide rides for all the guys who are at the church in time, but if you're going to be late, you can be dropped off at the park and we can give you a drive back to the church around 9:00pm. If the weather is good, we can be as late as 9:20, even 9:30pm.

It's the usual menu - burgers, dogs, pop and ice cream. And, it's no-charge. If the weather is good, we'll have the canoes and we'll putter around the inlet. If you've got your Federal Waters Fishing Licence (it's free, if you've under 16, but you still have to have it), and you bring your crabbing gear, you can go crabbing.

We look forward to seeing all our Thursday and Friday night guys there. We're going to have a great time.

God bless.
- Captain

End of Year BBQ

Hi Guys,

Just a note that this Thursday, June 2nd is our end of the year BBQ. We will need to meet at the church at 6:00pm and then we will be heading to Belcarra park for food and fun. We'll be leaving the park about 8:45-9:00pm (that's when the park closes) and being back at the church about 20-30 mins after that.

Hope to see you there,

Lt. Garth

Summer Time coming

Hi Guys,

Just a reminder that summer time is basically here. That means we're having a much more relaxed (if that's possible) time with Battalion. This is a great time to invite friends out for when we're playing football, disc golf, or whatever (depending on weather of course).

Tough Guys was a lot of fun even with the rain.

See you Thursday,

Lt. Garth

Tough Guys is coming!

Hi Guys,

The 2011 Tough Guys weekend is coming soon. May 13-15. This is our annual Father/Son weekend which means that if you are a son or a father you qualify to come. You don't actually need to bring your father/son along to come but it would be great if you do. Uncles and nephews are eligible to be brought.

Below are links to a printable version of the poster and the registration form brochure. Fill out the registration form and hand it in at church on Sundays or Battalion on Thursdays.

Lt. Jim will be needing help with the obstacle course this year so please let him know if you're able to help.

Thursday was Bed Of Nails!

Yes, on Thursday March 31, 2011 we brought out Battalion 3273's very own Bed Of Nails and took turns enjoying the Points-a-pedic mattress. Here are some pics. (Attention Moms - the Laws of Physics make this safe.)

It was great fun. See you next Thursday.

Just a reminder about the hike up Eagle Mountain on Saturday April 16.
