Lord Mayor Hosts Juniors 100 Event!

Around 100 current Junior Section members from all over Nottinghamshire attended an evening on Tuesday 2nd May. During the evening they had a chance to look around the Council House and meet and speak with the Lord Mayor as well as take part in a challenge to make the a giant ‘1 0 0’ out of the young people, which is part of the Juniors 100 Challenge.
The Lord Mayor of Nottingham Mohammed Saghir said about the evening:
“It was great to meet everyone – all the parents should be so proud of such lovely young people“
Peter Buckby (11) – 37th Nottingham said
“I enjoyed going to the Council House and exploring the building. I was fascinated by the trophies and modules in the glass cabinets. The opportunity to meet the Lord Mayor was a great privilege. It was an excellent idea to celebrate the Juniors 100 in the Council House.
Kian Ellis (11) – 16th Nottingham said
“I’d never been in the Council House before. I enjoyed it. I got the chance to speak to the Lord Mayor and he asked me about my day.”
This is the first of a number of different events and activities being planned by the Battalion including supporting the adventure sleepover at Kingswood and organising a BIG 100 birthday party in September.
