Humiliated!
As Bristol members gathered for another exhilarating 9-Page competition, little did they realise the devastating plunder they were about to be confronted with. A gang of scallywags believed to be from the 6th Bristol Boys’ Brigade Company swooped to grab the Junior Trophy (fortunately, there was only one entry) but also the much coveted Thematic Cup.
Shocked members investigating at the scene of the crime, the palatial home of the B.P.S, in Macavity fashion, found the rogues were not there.
The culprits were, later, caught on camera showing off their swag before, again, they disappeared into the night. It was thought that the youngest could be no older than seven, and the eldest perhaps twelve.
Not content with having humiliated the entire B.P.S, they then attempted to burgle the Federation’s cup.
In gallant mode, the society’s rising star, John Roe, came to the rescue to win the trophy, forcing the contemptible rascals into the runner-up spot. Societies beware! There might be a Boys’ Brigade Company near you.
