BACK in 1977, king of rock 'n roll Elvis Presley and glam rock legend Marc Bolan died, with the Queen also celebrating her Silver Jubilee.

That was also the year the 1st Troon Girls' Brigade were formed.

Now past members of the group are inviting them to join them for their 40th Birthday celebrations on Sunday, December 10.

At the morning service in St Meddan's Church they will hold their Enrolment, Dedication and Thanksgiving Service where the company will be rededicated and our new members will receive their enrolment certificates.

In the afternoon, a Reunion Afternoon Tea will be held.

Organisers are looking for old photos of the Company to be displayed at the reunion, and would welcome any contributions. Were you or your daughter a member of 1st Troon ? Did you take photos of any event? Do you have photos of yourself or your daughter at GB events? Any photos will of course be returned after the celebrations.

Any past members or friends of the company are interested in joining us for our celebrations are asked to contact Ray Campbell (Captain) at gbtroon@btinternet.com.
