\f2\fs22 \cf2 During the evening we play lots of different games, we create something wonderful during our craft and have some quiet time when we have a story. During their time in Anchors, the boys will work towards gaining badges for their armband (part of the Boys\'92 Brigade uniform). The topics covers are varied and include practical skills, like tying the shoe laces and even a bit of cookery!
