BlueEdu 227 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Was anyone else here at the battalion meeting at cambuslang rugby club where Walt was a guest speaker? The day he signed with us again, can't ever forget the atmosphere in the room that night. Got a pic with the man and a signature on the dated programme. A terrific moment in my BB history Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always saw the 131 as the burnside upper class company, its all very political A lot of my schoolmates were 131, loved the competition. Its a shame the bb has declined so much in recent years WATP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
