And if you are curious, here are the lyrics to the song "Thanks for the Armoury", written by Maureen Walker and sung by the Globe members in attendance at the Council meeting after Council approved the sale.

THANKS FOR THE ARMOURY

Thanks for the Armoury,
As you can plainly see, we’re happy as can be,
To have the luck to get a home instead of “wait and see”
How lovely it is!

Thanks for the Armoury
It’s really looking great, inside the Fairgrounds gate,
We promise you we’ll all work hard to keep it in this state,
How lovely it is!

KIDS: We are some kids from the Youth Group
And we adore anything musical,
Next spring we’ll be putting on Seussical,
Our parents too, will vote for you!

So thanks for the Armoury,
At last we have a home, a place to call our own,
A place where we can settle and from which we’ll never roam,
And thank you so much!
