A north-east Boys’ Brigade group is to host a national conference.
Fraserburgh Leisure Centre will welcome members from around the country at the North Scottish conference in September – organised by the 1st Fraserburgh company.
The two-day event will have a number of speakers lined up, as well as some events to entertain attendees.
A spokeswoman thanked Aberdeenshire Council for £1,500 from the Banff and Buchan area committee.
She said: “Buchan will be holding the North Scottish area conference from September 28-30.
“There is so much activity across the north-east and it is so positive for communities to have a BB.
“We are having Jim Muirhead as one of their speakers, who was awarded an MBE for his services to the BB, plus Alan McIntosh will be there who was awarded the BEM for his services and he’s captain of the biggest boys brigade in Scotland at 1st Buckie.
“The weekend is set to conclude with a parade and we are hoping local businesses will also get involved and contribute to sponsor the event.”
