Congratulations to everyone who participated in the 9-in-a-row CQN Charity Golf Day at Aberdour in Fife, yesterday. The event, auctions and raffles leading up to it raised £6000, the bulk of which will go to the 1254125 appeal, while some will go to Clic Sargent, who help families with children with that dreadful disease.
Lisbon Lion, Willie Wallace, and his wife Olive, were fantastic guests, who enjoyed spending a day with 70 or so friends. It doesn’t matter how far away Lisbon Lions live, you always find them the same way.
My sincere thanks to everyone who came along, bid of the auctions or bought a raffle ticket, all in aid of people you will never know. Thank you from all of us to John, Kevin and John, for their stressful work in pulling the event together, for the ninth year!
125 years ago a handful of people, living in a community devastated by hunger, destitution and TB, but who could make a difference, decided they would make a difference. As a result, Celtic was born. Celtic is not just something to brighten up your weekends, it’s not purely there to build friendships or to create common-interests across the generations, it is a movement you are required participate in.
The clarion call to all Celtic fans this year is to do more than just put your hand in your pocket, the spirit which gave birth to the concept of Celtic will only survive if those who can get involved, inspire a fresh generation by doing so.
Go register for 1254125, and commit to doing something to raise £125. It can be anything. You can walk a 1888 meters, go to the barbers and get a baldy to celebrate the signing of Amido Balde, it doesn’t need to be as ambitious as the 150 brave souls who right this very moment are atop Ben Nevis about to undertake the world’s highest huddle.
If you believe in this club, don’t leave it to someone else to take care of what’s important. The same goes for your season ticket. It has been over a century since we have been as close to the founding spirit of our club, but the sporting dramas which inspire us all are not achieved by new strikers, they are the fruits of tens of thousands fans buying season tickets.
Go stake your claim on Celtic.

How blessed are we ?
I hope you are well my friend and only good things come your way today.
Hail Hail
Can I ask a favour please?
Willie Wallace Heart of a Lion is selling really well on the blog, at Waterstones and at the Celtic stores. As you all know we have been working hard on this, the first ever book from CQN.
Anyway we have not persuaded the buyer at WH Smith to order it yet and we really want to get Willie’s book into their shops. If you go in you will see they have all the recent books on Scottish football – except Heart of a Lion.
So the favour is this – if you are passing a WH Smith over the next week or so could you ask if they have Heart of a Lion by Willie Wallace? They wont have it so you can express your disappointment etc – hopefully the interest will filter back to London…

My Dad deserves a medal for putting up with me when I was younger-now he canny wait to join my latest episode of bampottery!
My Mum,on the other hand,deserves more than mere baubles for putting up with the pair of us,but don’t tell her….
A guid dayoooot in his company will perk you up no end,a guid dayoooot in the company of both of you is likely to make me more homesick than normal.

Canamalar:
I was a pupil at St. Peter’s back in the sixties. I was five years of age when I first encountered sectarianism. There were two of them, to this day I still remember their names, Norman and Gordon Smith. I got hurt a wee bit but I hurt them both enough back that they never, ever came back for more.
I could’ve just rolled over and accepted my beating, but that would’ve entailed my dad disowning me and my being, in my own heart, being worthless.

Had planned to wrap myself round a £20 bottle of 12yo Glenfiddich but the local co-op ran out!

To keep this on the blog today here is a re-post to the link to the CQN Magazine article from SETTING FREE THE BEARS. It came in too late for the magazine so we thought we’d publish it as a stand alone treat for the blog.
Here is AN A TO Z GUIDE TO CQN INTERNET BAMPOTERY written by Setting Free the Bears. Enjoy
