On Monday 7^th March members of the Junior, Senior and NCO sections of 1^st Lye joined others from across the Worcestershire Battalion at Milton Hall Baptist Church, the home of 1^st Kidderminster, for one of the most important of the annual Battalion competitions - the Scripture Competition.

A report of the competition by Graham Knight

This was the Scripture Competition and there were 1^st Kidderminster, 1^st Pensnett, 1^st Redditch and 1^st Lye entering teams to win the Battalion Bible. There were a number of rounds and the memory verse to test how much the Boys had been learning over the past weeks in their Companies. The Battalion President Stephen Bentham was the quiz master. All the 8 teams with a total of 25 Boys had very close scores and they all did their companies proud no matter where they were placed at the end of the competition, they took part and did their very best. The 1^st Kidderminster A team came first to retain the Bible for another year while 1^st Lye came third.
