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.”

Their deluded rants make me laugh; it’s like Bonnie and Clyde condemning an upsurge in bank robbery…

Had a great night, thanks to the company at Table 12, Hebcelt, Gordon J, Time for Change, Hrvatski Jim. Putting faces to nom do plumes during the evening, being part of this CQN family, amazing.
Excellent night at CQten.. Hellish that I had to start work at 9.00am zzz
Good morning CQN!
How are the heads?
Stunning night last night, put some fotos up on FB, when I figure out how to post them here, from there I will.
Fantastic to meet so many and a great shame to miss out on meeting more who were there.
ACGR the Fleggers is safe, but not on the way to America, it will get there though.

Can you put up a link to your website please.
Good morning all,
A huge thankyou to all those folks that helped to organise last night and even bigger thankyou to everyone who came along last night
It was like a big family gathering , brilliant
It was great catching up with folks that I had not seen for years, it was also good to meet some folks for the first time
So many memories of CQN over the last Ten years, Paul67 did a great job in capturing some of the events that the CQN family had been part of, not many dry eyes as a result
Keep up the good work, Celtic Family

CRC, who got the most in your household?:-)
Paul67 my big sis is just now going through the motions of logging onto cqn, I think I’ve sold her on the charitable work ethos plus she’s a good Celt :>
Not vey often that I agree with Neil Lennon but after reading the papers this morning I hope that Scotland’s Player of the year has a change of heart and makes himself available to help WGS get Scotland get into the euros
Sounds like all you lucky people had a cracking night out last night, well done, looking forward to seeing the wash-up on the blog.

Are they meeting for lunch somewhere?
BRHT
not sure I could text ht if u want ?
BT
Did you ever get the pink belt ?
HH
Well if they were I would be happy to go and meet up with them.
Exiled Tim
You were being spoken of very highly last night — The belts and jewellery were displayed in front of the books to be signed for the virtual ticket holders so lots of people saw them.
Just spoke to minx
she will post when they firm up plans…
TeT
yes I did…thanks…mini said thank you very much
Hebcelt
The Stornoway hamper was beautifully put together and looked like a cracking prize.
BRTH
Thank you, I just hope the people who got them are happy, anything that helps those that really need help can’t be bad.
HH
Delighted to hear that everyone had a great night. Congratulations to Paul and all who organised the event. Just sorry other matters kept me away from the night.
What about young Henderson last night. Great show. Do we have another George Connelly in this young man? Ambrose, Chris and Adam had good games but I thought Brownie put in a power of work in the middle of the park with the ever improving Johansen. All in the second half, of course.
Praise to the fans who were there and who sang their hearts out. More of this is needed at Celtic Park. Where are you GB?
Any stragglers still in Glasgow going for a curer. Just getting kicked out the hotel so off for the hair of the dog.

Any CQN’ers around Villa Park late afternoon?
Fancy a beer with a fellow Hoops fan.
My Villaboy golfing mates have got me a spare ticket to see Paul Lambert’s boys put a puncture in the tyres of dirty Chelsea’s title challenge.
Come on the Villa Lions.
