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.

    Liked this post from joe…

    After reading various posts last night, I get rather frustrated about all the sub plot and accusations being made of support and board

     

     

    We need to unify here and stop accusing each other

     

     

    CQN was a nightmare last night to read, I am sure most other sites where similar

     

     

    Suggest Keeping things simple…

     

     

    Priorities as follows

     

     

    1. Keep doing what we are good at, supporting the team , this we got global praise for

     

     

    2. being respectful and charitable

     

     

    3. In the olden days you could clip some one round the ear, when they stepped out of line ,

     

     

    I recall at 15 years old being given my first public warning by a PC for being over zealous, game had not started !

     

     

    Perhaps we can’t do ear clipping, but I think we should be putting the fear into some of the dafty’s who thing it’s cool to let pyro or smoke bombs off

     

     

    time for them to stop this crap or feck off

     

     

    No place for that or vandalism

     

     

    Thereafter in the new year ,

     

     

    We need to focus and unify and deal with the bigger concerning issues that exist out there

     

     

    “Intimidation” “unlawful arrests of football fans ”

     

     

    As a point of note, having a belief that there should be a United Ireland at some point, with reduced links to UK,

     

     

    Without getting involved in the scotland debate, I make two observations

     

     

    Anyone who would view Scotland similar to Ireland ,

     

     

    Could be thinking to themselves

     

     

    1. This SNP government really have scored a huge own with this stupid bill

     

     

    Considering some of their new supporters in past 15 years

     

     

    2. Is Salmond the right person to lead or is just about his ego ?

     

     

     

    Come on the hoops

     

     

    Hail hail

  4. Papa John supports Wee Oscar plus The Dam 5 on

    As always but with a little more Sentiment at this time of the year.

     

    Awerabest PJ and a Happy and a Holy Christmas.

  5. Auldheid,

     

    I am sure that you realise just how much most of us on CQN appreciate the amount of effort that you put in to keeping us informed & speaking so eloquently for us on all manner of issues.

     

    There is not a lot that I can add to that.

     

     

    THANK YOU.

    Cinderella was a poor football player- Do you know the reason?

     

     

     

    She used to run away from the ball.

  8. Butsybhoy,

     

     

    You still around? Are you from Maryhill (originally)?
