26th Leeds Boys' Brigade Company

17/06/2026

It was back to table tennis for 26th Leeds this evening with the whole of our Company & Senior sections taking part in the Leeds Battalion table tennis competition.

Callum & Elliot each topped their Company Section groups to meet one another in the final, which Callum won.

Nathaniel topped his group in the Seniors tournament and went on to win the final.

So a clean sweep for 26th Leeds and home in time for the football! 🏓🏆🏆 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🦁🦁🦁

Yesterday evening, our Captain, Paul Curtis attended the Lee Rigby Memorial Service at Pudsey Cenotaph, where he had the honour of sounding The Last Post in Boys' Brigade uniform.

Pudsey and Farsley Royal British Legion Branch had also arranged a wonderful surprise for Paul. A commemorative poppy bearing the names of his Great-Grandfather, George Frederick Curtis (Grenadier Guards), and George's brother, Isaac, who was killed at the Battle of Messines and is commemorated on the Menin Gate, was presented to Paul to lay at the Cenotaph before being placed permanently within a memorial planter.

George was discharged in 1917 due to wounds sustained during service, wounds which ultimately contributed to his death in 1926 at the age of 45.

We are grateful to Damon Sugden and the RBL for this thoughtful gesture and for their continued commitment to ensuring the service and sacrifice of past generations are never forgotten.

It wasn't as bad as forecast! 🙌 Just intermittent light rain. A good walk had exploring east of Pateley Bridge with each Boy having a go at navigating and getting us back safely. 🧭

Join the Team

Over the past four years, Boys from 26th Leeds Boys’ Brigade have reached the National Table Tennis Finals four times — becoming England & Wales champions twice and UK & RoI champions once.

But the story starts much closer to home.

Every week boys from the Pudsey and Bramley areas meet together for:

🏓 Table tennis
⚽ Sport and games
🎯 Challenges and activities
🚶 Trips and events
⛺ Camping and residential experiences
🤝 Friendship, teamwork and life skills

You don’t have to be a table tennis expert — all of these Boys started just by coming along and giving it a go.

For one of the smallest groups competing in the national competitions, reaching four consecutive National Finals is an extraordinary run.

If you’re a Boy in School Years 3–12 and would like to try something new in a safe and supportive environment, you’d be very welcome at 26th Leeds Boys’ Brigade.

📩 Send us a message if you'd like to come along and see what we do.

The next National Finalist might be starting their journey with us soon.
