THE BOYS' BRIGADE
COLLECTORS' CLUB

The Collectors' Club, in its current form, has been in existence since 1994 and is co-ordinated by Mr Bob Mandry & Mr Kevin Aitchison. In 1994 it started as the Badge Collectors' Club, but in 2000 expanded to meet the diverse collecting interests of its members now covering all aspects of BB Memorabilia collecting. The club was formed independently of the BB, but with the full approval and encouragement of the Brigade Secretary.

For more information on the Club, Membership and some details on what people collect please click on the links below.
