We would like to say a huge thank you to Colin Brown Motors for organising the uplift of new goals for Albyn Park. Through the transport company C & D Transport, the goals were picked up from Paisley and delivered straight to Albyn Park.
We very much appreciated Colin's help, and without the help of local businesses we would not be the success that we are today.
BUSC's Youth Group continues to roam through West Lothian much to the delight of everyone involved!
Over the past 10 weeks, our Youth Group - comprised of children, coaches and volunteers - has been visiting many places across West Lothian such as Beecraigs, Almondell, Linlithgow Palace/Loch, Niddry Castle, Stewartfield Park and Albyn Park.
Our young people have learned valuable new skills and traits to help serve them well as they grow up. These skills include enjoying the freedom to organise and play, meeting new people, photography and cooking, as our head chef William demonstrates in the picture below!
The young people have responded greatly to the youth group's activities. We've been told by them all that the youth group is fun because they have met new friends, had fun and developed a new-found confidence in themselves.
Last Friday, the young people served friends, family and school staff as a celebration of their achievement. BUSC are very proud of what our young people have accomplished and along with the school staff we can safely say we've seen fresh confidence from them all.
The kids are now looking to lead the activities themselves (while still being supervised of course!) and are the first to volunteer for any jobs that are required to be done.
Three cheers for our BUSC Youth Group!
BUSC were delighted to have been visited by Channel 5 this week to film on site at the Albyn.
Our Alive & Kickin' Programme is sponsored by the Health Lottery, and Channel 5 were on hand to film our walking football group on the Health Lottery's behalf.
Participation in the Alive & Kickin' Programme has brought many positive benefits to the people who have signed up. It has allowed them to make new friends, engage in physical activity, improve their health and reduce the risk of serious illness.
We look forward to seeing our new film stars when the footage is released!
BUSC is proud to have organised and assembled a youth group comprised of local children to visit various areas of West Lothian.
Over the past two months the kids have been to the likes of Linlithgow Loch/Palace, Niddry Castle, Beecraigs and Almondell. The kids are allowed freedom to play, organise their own entertainment and encouraged to have as much fun as they possibly can.
We believe that it allows the children to become more independent, and in the process the children have made new friends, developed new found confidence in themselves, and have learned new skills such as cooking and photography.
The staff that work with and supervise the youth group are James, Aidan, David, Joseph, Ruaridih and Matt. Whilst James and Aidan are employees of the club, David, Joseph, Ruairdih and Matt are volunteers and we wish to thank them for taking the time to help out our youth group.
If your child wishes to come along and join in on the fun, all you have to do is contact James at j.pegg@busc.org.uk!
BUSC are happy to reveal that we are now accepting places on our Multi Sports Summer Camps at the Albyn!
These Multi Sport camps are designed to give children with a range of abilities the opportunity to learn new skills and techniques in a safe and engaging environment. The camps will be lead by qualified BUSC staff and volunteers.
The camps focus on a range of fun games and a wide range of different sports both team based and individual. We also encourage kids to embrace the free time aspect of the camp where kids can choose what activity/game to partake in the final hour of the session.
Dates and prices for the holiday camps are as follows:
We are also hosting football camps in conjunction with Planet Soccer that we will expand upon in the near future.
For further information or to book your place, please contact Aidan at a.forbes@busc.org.uk.
Due to the recent break-in, BUSC has unfortunately lost details regarding who had signed up for our holiday camps throughout the year.
Most applicants have sent us their details and we are very grateful for that. However we are still missing a few people on our list.
If you haven't sent your details in to be added, please contact Aidan at a.forbes@busc.org.uk
Thank you for your patience.
BUSC is pleased to announce that we are hosting the inaugural Battle of the Bing Cross Race on Sunday 29th July!
The Albyn has spoiled us rotten over the years and we have been granted full access of its footballing ground facilities. We will have full amenities, a huge shower and changing block as well as a fully stocked café throughout the day!
The race is open to both men and women from the age of 16 onwards, so long as you are part of the age boundaries on the day of the race (29th July). The price is £22.50 per rider and there are 200 entries available.
Please note that the deadline for entries in the BOTB is Sunday 22nd July and we will NOT be accepting any entries on the day of the race itself. Due to the grass roots nature of the event, cash flow is not huge and therefore we will be UNABLE to give refunds.
As a special treat, the race format will be in two parts which mean you will receive two races for the price of one!
Children won't be ignored either, as two kids races will be held on the day and will be free to enter! Just turn up with your bike and helmet and you're good to go! Each race will be for 6-10 year olds AND 10-16 year olds.
All upcoming news will be posted on the BOTB Facebook page at www.facebook.com/events/166531807366512/
The times for the event are as follows:
Times are subject to change.
We hope to see you bouncing along the bings on 29th July!
Scotland might not be at the World Cup but that wont stop Broxburn United from celebrating the occasion!
Join us for a variety of games at your local sports club, and cheer on the teams!
The bar will open 15 mins before kick-off, and there will be an opportunity to buy drinks and snacks.
Please book your place so we can ensure we have your HALF TIME PIE available. Contact the office on 01506 858057 or email l.lauder@busc.org.uk
