Anchor Boy Party

Once again Flitwick are hosting the Anchor Boy Party. This will be on Saturday 17th November between 2.00pm and 4.30pm

Please can boys come wearing a sticker with their name and company on it so we know who's who.
Please advise numbers attending  to Jo Mallams by Friday 16th November.
Uniform is not required.

In previous years individual companies have provided food, but this can lead to a lot of waste at the end of the afternoon. Therefore Flitwick will look after the catering for a small donation per child (see below).

Programme:

• Host to start the party by having the boys sitting in line in their Companies and welcome them.
• Split boys into two groups. (Half boys upstairs and the rest downstairs in the church.)

Quiet games (45 minutes) (upstairs) - suggestions:

• Pass the parcel (require 2, one for each session)
• White chocolate dice game (if roll six wear scarf, hat gloves and eat using knife and fork)
• Ladders (boys sit in pairs facing, feet touching, pairs numbered. When number called that pair have to run down, round and down the rest of the ladder back to their places.)

Noisy games (45 minutes) (downstairs):

• Musical chairs
• Musical bumps
• Split boys into two teams. Play over and under. First team finished and sitting down wins.

After 45 minutes, swap the boys around.

Have party tea (45 minutes approx). Offer grace / prayer.

The Afternoon will conclude with a children's character giving out presents to each child. Again for a small donation Flitwick are happy to organise the presents.

Can we please have some volunteers to organise the games as in previous years. Decide whether you prefer to organise quiet or noisy games and contact Jo Mallams to confirm so we can ensure everything is covered.

To cover the expenditure for food and presents then we feel a donation of £2 per child would be appropriate, but please give more or less, depending on your company finances. If costs are not covered then Flitwick will cover the balance,. If there is a surplus then we will put it into Battalion funds but ask that it be earmarked as Anchor Boy Funds.
