Legends, history, £6k and tens of thousands of Celtic fans

1401

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.

    The same problem with YouTube has been happening with me for around 3 months now. So frustrating as it is such a random thing.

     

     

    Done a bit of research about it. Take it you use google chrome? Apparently it’s a chrome bug.

     

     

    Found that much out about it but don’t know how to fix it

  2. reading back cheese on toast…. What has CQN come too.. Toilet Duck should be used..

  3. sorry if already posted…

I just need to find a better golfer than that whippersnatcher bruv of mine. If you see Tony tell him I,ll be in touch if I can decipher his handwriting

    Ooooh. I hope Sevco deemed it “unnecessary” to pay an enormous pile of money to prevent Media House from revealing where any bodies are buried, or even from affirming that the Charlotte material is true and accurate.

  10. weet weet weet

    Seen it but dont understand it, deluded on RM saying what have

     

    MH done for us?

     

    only misrepresented and IMHO blatantly twisted every bad story on them for years, I dont believe they have bumped J I and ramsey, there is something dodgy in this, maybe to do with JI political emails on CF.

     

     

    Jack Irvine and Ramsey S have every bit of dirt on the zombies and evweryone connected to them for the last 20yr, IMHO this is a watch this space story.

     

     

    does anyone think they would get rid of MH and leave their PR to Jabba? na nor do I

    BT, can you send me Tony’s details to acgr@hotmail.com. I think Doc is offski on hols to France so I wont be communicating with him. I think he’s still in the huff with me for the trauma I visited on his lovely family the morning of the cup final. I thought I was on my bestest behaviour but I think the attire might have coloured their opinion:-)

     

     

    23rd of August is a definite goer for me. Unfortunately young ACGR will be back in school, so it’s me, young burv Pedrocaravanjumpstarterman67 (if he’s available) and A.N.Other.

     

     

    Sounds like a good day out for a great cause.

     

     

    It was a pleasure to play with Tony, he knows how to hit a golf ball!!!
