I sat in a Foundation meeting with a group of Celtic fans on Saturday, it is beyond credible what is done in our name – and there’s much more to come.
Last week the Foundation appointed a Disability Sports Ambassador, while earlier this month, we saw the opening of Celtic Park Haiti, a magnificent assistance project in one of the world’s poorest countries. In the first week of this month the Foundation made news across the globe for leading the way in their response to the refugee crisis (well, the Washington Post covered it, even if some in our own backyard didn’t).
September started with the news that CLIC Sargent’s new Home from Home in Glasgow opened with the assistance of a £60k donation of your money. CLIC offer support for families coping with child cancer.
All this, just in September!
Ambition for the Foundation is limited to the practicalities of what’s possible to deliver. To this end, several dozen of us have signed up to compete (cough) for the Foundation in the Great Scottish Run on Sunday. For most of us, it takes many months’ hard work to get to the point that you’re lining up in George Square with 10k or a half marathon ahead of you.
I’m running the half marathon, my first time at an event over 10k (only done 3 of those). It’s been a summer on the roads, the highlight of which was the fastest recorded run up Airbles Road. Running in a Celtic T-shirt through a crowd watching an Orange Walk puts more energy in the legs than any amount of carb loading.
There are lots of ways you can participate in the work:
Here, for my linked donation page.
If you are doing the GSR for the Foundation and would like a shout out for donations, email me, celticquicknews@gmail.com
Many thanks for your help, it’s appreciated.

Daft question of the day then
When and how does an ebt loan become due to pay back ?
SS
They don’t its the loan you never need to pay, just like with a Facepainter.
Due to the number of messages i’ve received I have decided to return to posting on CQN. I would like to thank all three of you,much appreciated!!!! Batteries refreshed and recharged hope to see many of you at the match on Thursday and maybe even a wee swally in the BV. Hail Hail Hebcelt

It’ll say in your agreement mate… ;-)
Hebcelt
Nice :-)
Ross Barkley another bawhead of a player, not as good yet as he thinks he is but can be a player if he stops his cheating and his look at me attitude
Hebcelt
With all you bhoys making an appearance on Thursday think it’s safe to say I can give it a miss
Don’t like to leave Oldtim isolated
Night bhoys
Hebcelt
Welcome back. We all have our wee displays of petulance:-))))))
HH.
Welcome back Hebcelt, Lang may yer black pudding rule.
I thought I read the ebt loan was to be paid back at death or upon reaching 99.
That there was £70m handed out and they didn’t club together to save themselves sums it all up.
Voguepunter took a wee sabbatical,wee health problem but everything tickity boo plus some of the comments on here were doing “ma heid in” Calm and relaxed now. Hail Hail Hebcelt
voguepunter.
I can’t renage on something I’ve been saying for three years. I always thought that Celtic would do a bit of protesting, but as far as I can make out they haven’t opened their mouths. I can’t go through any more years of getting trodden on The men in Black,The journo’s who hate the name of Celtic, the National T/V Billy BOY.S Co-operation,in short BBC,the SFA.SPFL. the most unloved Team playing anywhere on the Planet. No, if those Bas***ds come up I’m calling it a day.
I called it a day when that Minister (can’t remember the Bast**ds name ) booked 9 of our players,
Think it’s time I had a break as well incredible Moon Shot over Rutherglen tonight.
hebcelt…
Awe feck, I need to read your banal banter noo.
Good to see you posting, too many vanished of late….
I call you out, you call yourselves Celtic men… Get a backbone. Don’t leave the battle.
Kip time for me:))

‘Petrofanny Cup’

monthehebcelt

Asked this this other night so apologies if someone replied and I missed it, but…..
How long has Sportscene had the “Rewind” segment? I’ve never seen it before – although to be fair I rarely watch the programme these days as I think it is awful. The fact that they chose such a pointless clip to show backs up my opinion. In my opinion.
*****Last Man Standing 5 update*****
Evening bhoys and ghirls. We have 56 teams registered and raring to go for LMS5 which starts this Saturday.

Oldtim…
Just banter mate, I’ll try and make the BV on Thursday, it’s good to meet the loony posters, yourself excluded.
I know Acgr will turn up, you will have your hands full, my feck he’s hard work, re the post from earlier. :))
Welcome back Hebcelt. Next visit for me is November 21st. Hope to see some of you there.
Not long in from work. Almore sent the posters for Dublin 2016. A Graphic Designer from Dublin spent plenty of time on the designs.
Too be honest they look fantastic.
The type of thing you would frame and put on the wall.
Thanks, Almore, everyone else and especially Dara.
