This year some of your money went to Whizz-Kidz, who help some of the estimated 70,000 children in the UK waiting for the right wheelchair. They not only provide equipment and life skills, but also offer support to young people. Take a look at this video to find out the kind of way your cash has changed a life:
We’ve just sent off money to Action on Depression, a Scottish charity working with some of the 10% of the population who suffer from this illness at some point in their lives. Like all of the recipients of your money this year, there is a feeling that we provided no more than a drop in the ocean of what is required, but with depression we felt that bringing the subject out into the open was as important as the money donated.
This illness can do enormous damage lurking in the shadows, let’s kick it into the light.
Many of you will remember the Martin Chamber Ecuador Trust. Fr Martin left Scotland some years ago to help some of the most deprived people on earth. In his words, this is why we helped:
“I would say that people should care about the poor people of Ecuador firstly because they are our brothers and sisters. On top of that their needs are great: they have no running water, no proper sanitation, no sewerage system and poor electricity. They have little access to education or to medical care and they are crammed together in bamboo huts – mile upon mile of houses, millions of people living below the poverty line. That’s why people should care.”
You gave to the Ronnie Coyle Benefit Trust, sadly, Ronnie is no longer with us, you donated to the Aberdour PTA, from the Fife village that hosts our summer get-together, and you gave a donation to The Haven, who help people with life limiting illness from Glasgow and Lanarkshire. Their story is available in a short video here, take a look at what your money is doing.
All in I’d say you did very well. Very well indeed. Have a great Christmas, you deserve it.

Should be on but wouldn’t be surprised if they went into the same black hole that the ’10 men won the league’ game went into…
help required- new laptop in the house but can’t get the volume to work. I’ve checked volume on speaker control, any suggestions?
“It’ll be, a blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas”.
At this time of year as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ , it is important that we remember the various Saints. St.Michael , St Paul , St Andrew and of course St Mirren ……… a very merry Christmas .. Hail ! Hail !

They’ve been letting McCulloch away with elbowing everyone for years, to punish him for it now is just cruel.

Merry Christmas to you and yours in Balloch.
Let’s hope you and your family have a great New Year.
Starting on Wednesday.
A safe, happy and healthy Christmas to all Tims especially to CQNers wherever you are,
Paul, thank you for leadership, common sense and charity.
Narrowboat Tim, nice to hear from you again. Hope your health goes from strength to strength. Do they still have the Cropredy Festival?

My all time hero and I saw the best Celtic team ever. I first watched Tommy in 1973/4 as a youth player, a scout at the time
John Rice told me he’d be a great, John knew a player, how right was he. Tommy was Celtic.
Merry Christmas yin and awe
cheers googybhoy
Unusually warm for this time of year. That’s probably because everybody has stocked up
with things to beat the ice and snow.
I’m a very occasional poster, but I want to wish everyone here the very best for the rest of today and the season. My own Christmas wish is to see first debuts for Calum McGregor, John Herron, Tony Watt and Jackson Irvine before the end of the season. What an under 19 team we’ve got!
All the very best of festive wishes to each and every CQNer.
Paul67,thanks for the blog and especially today’s post.Health and happiness to you and yours.

Happy Christmas to all CQNers from a rare poster but one who admires the quality, insight, humour and downright decency shown on this sight. Many thanks, Paul.
God bless everyone.
“Site” I do know how to spell and had to correct that in case someone was going to call me a hun. It’s been a long but lovely day.
Can any of you old punters ever remember a game when the Celtic support were shouting,I am sparticus.
