With such a big Gang it will take a lot of time to take everyone's details at the start. We will therefore open Viewfield Church Hall for registration from 1.30pm. Please come early
Although we are very happy to take the payment of your Membership Fee by bank card can I encourage you to consider paying by cash or cheque (payable to Stirling Scout & Guide Gang Show) as this will help to keep things moving. We only have one card machine.
The first rehearsal is in Viewfield Church Hall in Irvine Place (Opposite the Fountain/Sheriff Court) on Sunday 19 March. It is from 2pm to 4pm. We want to encourage parents to come along for the afternoon to hear a little of what we'll be doing and how you can help. Perhaps you'll join in during the session. Bring your siblings as all are welcome. There will be tea, coffee and juice available
There will also be information about the Casting session which is being held on 26 March. Members must attend this if they want a speaking or singing part. There is no guarantee of a part as we are usually overwhelmed with hopefuls. Our Tuck Shop will be open on the 26th.
2 pm - 3.30 pm on Sundays 5 & 12 March in Queen Street Scout Hall, Stirling. Please come along to one of these to find out what Gang Show is all about. No one is a star because no Gang Show would manage without each and everyone who chooses to be a member.
You must be aged at least 9 years and 6 months on 23 September 2023 to join and be a member of the Guide or Scout Movements.
You do not have to join the Gang but why not come along and try the Gang Show Experience?
If you were a member of the 2022 Stirling Gang, don't forget to let Scott know whether or not you will be returning for 2023. We are getting a lot of interest at our great recruiting sessions so, if you don't respond and just come along to the first rehearsal there may not be room for you.
Isn't it in line with the Scout or Guide Promise and Law to take a moment to reply?
Within the next 10 days invitations will be sent out to the 2022 Gang inviting them to rejoin. It is important that you let Scott Park know if you are returning as this can affect the number of new members invited from the Experience Days.
Please be aware that if we have a large number of potential new members from the Experience Days you may not be able to return if you haven't advised Scott by the requested date of 11 March.
The first rehearsal is on Sunday 19 March in Viewfield Church Hall from 1.45pm.
This year we have changed the age ranges :
Main Gang - You should be aged at least 9 years 6 months by 23 September 2023
Junior Gang - You should be aged at least 7 years by 23 September 2923
There is some flexibility for Cubs and Brownies. If they are under 10 by 23 September they can, if they wish, choose to be in the Junior Gang rather than the main Gang.
Experience Days
Main Gang - come along to Queen Street Scout Hall on either Sunday 5th or Sunday 12th March, from 2 - 3.30pm. You do not need to wear uniform
Junior Gang - come along to Queen Street Scout Hall on Saturday 13th May from 4 - 5.30pm. You do not need to wear uniform.
We will teach you part of a song so you do not need to prepare anything. We aim to give you a little bit of experience of what it is like being in a Gang Show. You do not have to join if you decide it's not for you. Do come along and give it a go. It's an exciting opportunity.
2pm, Sunday 6 November in Queen Street Scout Hall. That's the venue for seeing the DVD of the National Gang Show that was held in London in July. Our own Mia, Paul and Lee were our representatives in this tremendous Show. Don't miss seeing Paul do the splits in one number!
If you are coming please let Scott know so that he can put out enough chairs for everyone and have some interval treats available.
Our 2023 will take place in the Macrobert Arts Centre in the week commencing 25 September 2023
We are changing our age ranges to encourage more youngsters to take part
The Main Gang is open to everyone who will be aged at least 9 years 6months on Saturday 23 September 2023.
The Junior Gang will be open to everyone who is aged at least 7 years on Saturday 23 September 2023. We will be flexible with the upper age limit if anyone would rather be in the Junior Gang rather than the Main Gang.
