The current 1GBB company was founded in 1983 at Westborough United Reformed Church. It transferred to St John's Stoke Church in 1989.

The company was run initially by Chris Britton, who served as captain until (2001), since then it has been in the hands of acting captain Ian Wallace.
Over the years 1GBB has been involved in many camps, events and competitions, and seen many leaders and boys come and go.

Some of the most memorable moments include:

Soaking wet junior camps in Bentley copse!

Robert Christmas’ special relationship with the fish in headlands lake.

Winning the battalion trophy and sports day in 1999, in the companies most successful year: 3 UK Masterteam finals, with 2 3rd places. Well done to: Phil, Kieran, Dave and Tim (2000) Ben, Dave C, Dave B and Graham.
(2004) Dave, Ben, Jon and Alastair.
(2005) The on going, and perhaps never to be truly finished attic railway!

Matt Cox and Rob’s critically acclaimed version of the Offsprings ‘Pretty fly for a white guy’

Trying to find a new way of laying out your kit to get the best marks in camp inspection (playing camp themed music was probably the most innovative!)

Graham Ingate, a leader who could always be relied upon to make the early morning tea, or look after the site listening to the cricket

Nick Bayton’s dramatic goalkeeping skills! (see picture below)

Phil Coleman mastering the art of unicycle in just one week

Bob Kirby’fossil trips, Joe-Mcarthy-Hollands climbing trips, Greg baileys complex wide games and Clive Sim’s pioneering challenges

Alastair Heyes losing his keys!

Harry, Ryan and Dave getting to meet the queen

The fantastic figure marching music!

Many years competing in the Guildford raft race, sometimes finishing highly, sometimes barely finishing at all, and once finishing being towed along by a swimming Rob

And finally last of all, never quite being able to beat Alton at most things…but at least our uniform is better.
