Here at Eltham Park we have 58 members – 3 Officers, 2 Trainee Officers, 5 Helpers, 1 Warrant Officer, 2 Brigaders, 12 Seniors, 21 Juniors, and 12 Explorers.

Our Company began in 1937, and so last November we had a party to celebrate our 70^th birthday! Lots of “Old Girls” attended and were entertained by the Company, were able to look at a display of photographs through the years, and spent an enjoyable afternoon reminiscing.

We are part of the Meridian District and enter as many District events as we can. We took part in the Swimming Gala in October 2007, Young Leader Training in January 2008, the Praise Party in February 2008, and Junior and Explorer Activity Days in March 2008. Our District Sports day is in June.

Throughout the year we try to think of ways of helping other people.

The Company went to sing carols to the residents of Conniffee Court last December; the Seniors and Brigaders worked hard to produce the pantomime “Sleeping Beauty” with which they entertained the Juniors and Explorers at their Christmas Party; the Sport Relief Mile was completed on a very wet Thursday evening in the dark; and we are also raising money for the Demelza House Childrens’ Hospice supporting them in their efforts to raise funds for a new centre being built in Eltham.

Every Thursday evening during Term time you will find us in the Halls from 6 to 9pm. We will be playing games, working on badges, worshipping God, and having a thoroughly good time. Just follow the noise!
