142nd Kilmakee Girl's Brigade is celebrating 50 years.

The photograph shows the senior PE team which won the British Isles PE competition in 1977.

THIS YEAR marks the 50th anniversary of 142nd Kilmakee Girls Brigade. Formerly called Seymour Hill Presbyterian GB the first company night took place in September 1958 in the neighbouring Orange Hall where it continued to meet until the building of the new church was complete.

Under the Captaincy of Mrs E Hunter the company registered 36 members and continued to grow.

During her 40 years as Captain Mrs Anne Russell encouraged girls of all ages to reach their potential through the variety of activities the Girl's Brigade has to offer.

To mark the occasion of the anniversary newly appointed Captain, Mrs Audrey Godfrey, is inviting all past officers and members to join them at their Enrolment Service in Kilmakee Presbyterian Church on Sunday November 16 at 6.30pm. Refreshments will be served after the service in the church Hall.
