Arthur's Blog

Hi, I am Arthur and I am the 5th Hull BB Junior Section Mascot. Believe it or not I am a dog and I don't smell either (may be that's because I go through Paddi's washing machine a few times each year.

Anyway....everyone loves me and loves looking after me. I teach the Junior Section to be responsible! They have to care for me and treat me well, particularly when we are on holiday!

Last year I went loads of places... to Rosedale, to the sleepover, the National Band Competition and also to FF. Sometimes the Company and Seniors borrow me to go on their trips! What are we going to be doing next year.

Here is my blog for this year...

May 2009 - I went to a sunny Firm Foundations and sat at the front gate for most of the weekend. I even have the wrist (oops leg) bands to prove it!

April 2009 - I've been to the BB 125th Anniversary Tattoo in Glasgow - It was great. I slept one night with Ashley and one with the girls! Very tired now....

March 2009 - I went to the BB Football competition and also I went to a BYS course in Grimsby. It is fun to be out and about. The chip shop was shut so no tea for me tonight though!

February 2009 - It's great meeting new friends - Hi to all you new people! It was our 75th Anniversary service and party and I got to go to Paige and Rhys' Baptism with all those Teddy Bears.

January 2009 - Back to BB after the Christmas break.... it's good to be back! I hid during the drum day it was way toooooo loud.

December 2008 - I went to staff training at Cloughton and met Uncle Eric (Director of England) and the 2nd Scarborough Worship Band. I also ate chocolate cake and played the piano. It was the Christmas parties too. Lots of fun and food!

November 2008 - I went along to BYS at Scarborough. It was cold in the back of Paddis car! I also went bowling and to some training events.

September 2008 - I have had a bath and I am all clean... I had a great night with the CS and SS too! I went on the Scavenger Hunt with the Juniors.

August 2008 - I went to France and Belgium on holiday. I went to La Coupole, but didn't go to theme park as I thought I may get too wet!

June 2008 - The BT Giant Sleepover was brill and I got loads of hugs and food.

June 2008 - I went to the Band Competition and rode on top of the big bass drum - great fun!

April 2008 - I had a night in the Juniors this month. I watched them learn about Fire Safety and had plenty of hugs too.

March 2008 - I went to the Batallion Football Competition to cheer on the teams. It was a great but tiring day and the girls won their competition too!
