The main party arrived at the well-situated site on Saturday afternoon and over 60 Boys, Officers and friends enjoyed a marvellous week's fun and fellowship in reasonably good weather. The Companies represented were: 1st Aughnacloy & Ballymagrane, 1st Bellaghy, 1st Caledon, 1st Castledawson, 1st Culnady, 1st Maghera, 1st Magherafelt, 1st Moneymore, 1st Newmills, 1st Stewartstown and 1st Tamlaght O’Crilly. Sunday morning saw the entire camp attend Light Church which meets inside the stadium of AFC Fylde.
Yet again, the parade to church commenced at the campsite and was admirably led by the Mid-Ulster Battalion BB Band along with the Battalion Colour carried by James Ferguson. We received a very warm welcome from the congregation at Fylde and the Pastor, Dan Belshaw, delivered a very challenging address. In the evening everyone joined together to worship on the campsite in a Service conducted by our Camp Chaplain, Garth Fulton.
Morning and evening prayers took everyone on a tour of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Throughout the week the campers learned that the whole Bible points to Jesus who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. These Devotions and all the activities of the Camp were upheld in prayer at the Prayer Meetings, which were took place each evening.
During the week the Campers donated a very generous total of £438.63 for B.B.
missionary work. One of our Officers, Ian McCullough (1st Moneymore), reached a personal milestone as he attended his 50 th Battalion Ca.
