You did this in 2013

1233

Yet again during 2013 we asked you to put your hand in your pocket and you responded as only Celtic fans do.  You raised £6000 before and during the focus of our summer fundraising activity, the annual golf day.  £4500 of this went towards the 1254125 Appeal, which during the year did an enormous amount to anchor the club and support right back to where we came from.  Clic Sargent, who help children with cancer, also benefited at that time.

Thanks also to those who sponsored my 10k at the Great Scottish Run in October to the tune of £1552.  Times remain tight for many, so I the value of your support.

Perhaps the biggest response all year came from the commitment we made to Mary’s Meals to build and kit a kitchen at the Kholoni Primary School in Malawi.  1200 kids are registered at the school but there are no catering facilities, so students go hungry, or simply don’t go to school at all.  Pablophanque’s family sent on the £4500 support they received in 2011 to the appeal, while 470 people booked a seat at the CQteN St Patrick’s Day dinner, with more on the waiting list.  The work we’ll achieve in 2014 will be incredible.

This place can stress and annoy sometimes but it has become a great window into the soul of the Celtic support.

Have a great Christmas and thank you for all your support.

    I will be at Corpus Christi Knightswood in the morning with my mum. It will be full. Quieter most weeks though. St Pats Dumbarton were the only team to give our school a game 77-82. Good teams we both had. Six of our team made it.

    Ryecatcher,

     

    The living years,

     

    Was number 1 when my auld irish da died,always reminds me of him,

     

    As does Gilbert o’sullivan’s ..alone again Naturally..remind me of when my mum passed.

     

     

    Thanks for that.

  7. Weet Weet Weet…

     

     

    You have educated me sir.

     

     

    Always thought Mike Rutherford wrote it.

     

     

    Brilliant to learn that a guy from Sandyhills did.

     

     

    Thank you for the information.

     

     

    Merry Xmas.

    I was there too and it was grim.

     

     

    In fairness, Lou’s Celtic team did perform brilliantly at Ibrox on the day Mr Murray banned the Celtic support.

     

     

    I am pleased to say I managed to defy his ban and watched the game sitting among the “people” in the main stand.

     

     

    Before the game one of the (angry) “people” assured me there were “Tims in here somewhere”.

     

     

    I couldn’t disagree!

     

     

    Apart from John Collins wonderful free kick the highlight of the day was of course the wee plane which flew over Ibrox defiantly trailing the message “Hail Hail The Celts Are Here”.

  9. Here was me thinking Midnight Mass starting at 6 was early, only to be beaten by EDB and a 5.30! ! Start

     

    Fantastic what you discover on the old CQN

    A Happy Christmas to all Celtic fans throughout the world from Free Doire.

     

    God bless you all.

  12. Not long in from Mass, 21:00 this year instead of Midnight. We gathered to celebrate a Birthday one of one who no longer celebrates their’s with us in body but does spiritually. We gathered to remember those who we personally knew and who will not celebrate any more Birthdays whilst with us either, they too will be remembered by those dear to them on this eve and forever.

     

     

    Remember those that mean so much to us, to them we say thanks for brightening up our lives.

     

     

    Amongst those that have left us are some fellow bloggers (you know who they are, all Bhoys), there are also who we’re extended family but never knew them as they did not post.

     

     

    I wish you all a Happy and Holy Christmas from the Lennybhoy family.

     

     

    Eldiegobhoy, I hope you Meghan and Kerri have a good day tomorrow, see you soon my friend.

     

     

    … PFayr, you sobered up…:)?

     

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

     

    Hail Hail!
