In recent weeks hundreds of you have contributed to our Mary’s Meals project to build a school kitchen in Malawi for the 1221 pupils who are enrolled at the Kholoni Primary School in Mchinii, and then for the 746 pupils at St Joseph’s Primary in Kasungu.
The £7000 required for the first school reached Mary’s Meals some weeks ago and the building was opened and serving meals yesterday.
Here it is:
We have a lot to do today but there is an excellent chance that the £7000 required for St Joseph’s will be raised and in Mary’s Meals account before 470 of us sit down in the Kerrydale Suite for the CQteN St Patrick’s Day dinner tonight.
Here’s what you’ve done. You have funded two facilities which between them will feed 1967 children, all of whom live below the UN measure of absolute poverty, in the 17th poorest country in the world.
Most days, for almost all children, this will be their main meal, it will often be their only meal. As a result, they will attend school in greater numbers, 30% greater, if they are an average Mary’s Meals, Malawi, school. They will gain a better education and have better opportunities in life. They will build stronger bodies, more able to resist infection. Child mortality will fall.
The spirit of Brother Walfrid, of Celtic, is alive within you. You can get involved here.
See you at the party!
Seville, The Celtic Movement, launches tonight.
“CNN reported that on the day before the game 3% of the earth’s flying population were all headed for Seville and were sporting a Celtic scarf – a statistic that no sector of industry could ignore and which would change the policy of many airlines as a result.”

Off to Celtic Park now to get things ready.
Especially for those who can’t make it along tonight here is a link to the CQTEN Programme which will be on the tables tonight.

WC don’t start without us.
I note that we are able to feed 1967 children – how appropriate.
I think the site was up about 3 months when I made my first post in 2004, but can anybody tell me who got the very first podium, and is he/she still posting ?
Morning Folks
Ok I need a favour can someome send me a text at 3pm to remind me to wear the clean pants and the matching socks for tonight!
Cheers.
Now– there are only a couple of hours left for the whisky bottle on auction.
The latest bid is £425 but it would be great to get it up to £500.
You will see from the above just what this money does and in return the lucky winner gets a truly unique bottle of malt.
Send bids to auction@celticquicknews.co.uk
Now — what boots to wear????/

I believe oldtim and his apostles will be in the Blane Valley in Glassford Street this afternoon.
Great article on this auspicious day Paul. Makes one feel so proud to contribute and to be part of the CQN family and the greater Celtic community.
As life would have it, this is a bitter sweet week, but this evening as we all gather to acknowledge your inspiration, I’m sure that our celebration will be joined by those in both virtual and spiritual realms. All will look on with pride at what you have created.
So looking forward to being seeing the myths of CQN tonight, my erudite fellow posters, Babbity Bowsters and Doc’s wallet.
Hail Hail
Well done Paul, well done everyone, absolutely amazing effort.
Proud to be a Celtic man.
Hail Hail
Anyone on twitter, this account is funny.
@craptaxidermy.
It’s er, self explanatory.
thebhoywithmcgraininhisside
I don’t know what is happening today.. It’s very quiet on here.
But if you go to the Blane Valley in Glassford Street and perch on a bar stool, then I’m sure Oldtim will turn up eventually, just tell the barmaid your name is Dave :-)
thebhoywithmcgraininhisside
Blane Valley, I’ll be there around 4ish but OldTim is probably standing at the door waiting for it to open now:-)
Lots of other CQNers also going to BV.
Congratulations, Paul on reaching this special Anniversary of CQN.
The blog has evolved over those years, from being a place that focussed on the obstacles and barriers created by the MSM, to a more eclectic ” social club”, where everything and almost anything goes!
Throughout these ten years, there has been an ever growing desire to help those in trouble, or who just needed a wee bit of help.
I think that the Kano initiative triggered the not do latent charitable nature of the Celtic support.
Of all the initiatives, I think that this weeks news that 1967 children will be fed and educated through Mary’s Meals, is the closest we have come to Walfrid’s mission.
Well done and God Bless you all for your efforts.
Enjoy the night and shake as many CQN hands that you can, for those of us who can’t be there.
Think back, remember when you were about 8 years old.
It’s early evening on Christmas Eve, there are only a few hours to go and it’ll be here!!
Do you remember that feeling, pure excited anticipation.
One of the best feelings in life.
I have that feeling now.

I thought ‘sloppy’ was deliberate and worked well – I had a vision of sloshing about in 2 foot of Guinness towards the end of the night!

Embramike. , you took that too far . I heard that Ponce de Leon started off looking for Docs wallet , and gave up and found the fountain of youth instead .
Sanna
Fine words friend
All I can do is endorse them ….
See the nicht big stuff :-))
BRTH,
A young fellow tim in the work asked me what I was doing at the weekend yesterday?
I told him about the cqten night, to which he replied…my dad’s cousin posts on the site, think his moniker is brogan rogan something.
Naw never heard of him says me :)
Only kidding, Thomas is a fine young tim and his dad who I’ve worked with for twenty odd years is the same.
Best I get the hoose sorted for acgr’s arrival :(
Doc
Did you get my order for the badges ?

Just looking at these two consecutive posts and starting to wonder …..
That is a tremendous bit of work in providing the means of those children to eat and learn, a sad indictment of society in the modern world, but one which also shows, some in society care. God bless them all.

Afternoon Timland from a coolish hun free mountain valley.
Mucho congrats Paul for reaching this milestone.
Wonderful stuff being done as usual by the Celtic community.
But it saddens me that in 2014 charity is needed more today than ever.
Enjoy the bash tonight everyone going, I will be there in spirit.
HH
Cheers all, Blane Valley it is.
Enjoy the party tonight. If you see anybody I know tell them I said Hi
At ten tonight I will drink a wee dram and spark up the finest cannibas joint tonight in your honour.
Let me already state well done to you,all and reiterate there are many around the globe that are thinking of you. Proud and jealous of you at the same time.
So party real hard. You deserve it and make us all even more jealous and proud. If possible. One thing about tonight for sure we already know is that if there is going to be a show then you will all be there.

Amongst the many quotes from Tony Benn , i saw this one.
“In Britain we’re told there’s an Irish problem but the truth is there’s a British problem in Ireland
