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.

Re Lee Wallace,
I would love to see a cheeky £300k bid from us, and if it was successful, he is a decent squad player.
More importantly, Fat Sally would assume we had tapped him up and it creates the benchmark for other team’s bids.
Hilarity beckons
Weefra
Good to see you on. Hope you and yours have a Happy Christmas (esp your wee mammy)
Hail HaiL
Lee Wallace …go on …just for a laugh :-)))
Merry Christmas everyone.
Just herding two hyper-mental wee ones to bed amid tumultuous excitement;
cannae beat it ;))
Put your divisions aside for a few days – remember, thank God yer Tims.
And if you’re out and about tomorrow:
‘Feeeeed the H-uns,
Let them know it’s Christmas time…’

I would bid 500k for Wallace and McLeod. Paid in monthly instalments.

Thanks for that, I’m only back on because the bickering seems to have calmed down. Ma wee maw is still hanging on in there, still defying medical science. :)) You and yours have a wonderful and peaceful time, and, more importantly, a really good piss up. :))

Happy Christmas to Paul67 & family, and also to the extensive and inclusive, Celtic family.
Let’s keep winning.

Been a difficult evening…………….. wrapping Christmas presents.
There’s always one item that gives you grief…………. loads of sellotape, bubble-pack and ‘do not bend’ stickers!
Hope my wee ‘currant bun’ friend appreciates his framed portrait of Brian Stockbridge when he opens his gift tomorrow!

Hope you’re well my friend. I went into Midnight Mass in St.Patrick’s Dumbarton at 5.00 for a 5.30 k.o. Got out at 7.00.
Being spoiled by my daughters tonight. Getting suspicious of ulterior motives:o)
Merry Christmas to all you bhoys and ghirls.
Lets just remember this.
Despite numerous attempts to split us by the foe malign we have far more in common than they will ever know.

Hope all’s well with you mate. My wife once bought me a self assembly barbecue for Christmas. I was not best pleased.
TT,
Surprised you have to ask that, given they have only been on the go for 14 months.
Old age hits us all :-)
TT
I think there has been in days gone by, indeed , I think there are a few from pre 1930s.
However, I am not sure if a Chuckles bought that part of the history:-)

Getting there after as you said a shit 2013

Was there not a guy called Bennett at the start of the 20th century who asked to be allowe to sign for oldco. The hoops agreed with that if he helped us win the league which he did so we let him go to thems for start of following season.

Happy Christmas to all on CQN.
I think back on those we lost, Pablo, Lurgan, St. John Doyle and Miki.
I wish continued strength to those who suffer and those who support them (Kano, his family and Ramie are in my thoughts).
I hope to hear more from, temporarily, I hope, absent friends like Philvis, Zbyszek, and anyone I’ve forgotten.
I wish continued strength to canamalar. Morrisey, Auldheid and BRT & H, and all that are pursuing a correction to the injustice in football administration that is souring us.
I owe a debt to all the fundraisers for Celtic related charities over this year and, thankfully, there are too many of you to mention individually.
In good times and in bad, may there always be a Celtic and a faith in what it can achieve.
Hail Hail
Come Darkness, Come Light
EDB
I will say a wee prayer for your good lady, when I remember my dad at mass in the morning. Both called at the same time. God bless and give strength to you.
Paul 67
Thank you for CQN………a Christmas present every day of the year……..
and to all CQNr’s, have a happy and peaceful Christmas.
A merry xmas to Paul, all on CQN and to the wider Celtic family.
Despite all of our individual and collective travails, most of us here are in a great place compared to many in this world.
Here’s hoping for a great performance, on and off the park at Perth on Boxing day.
Play nice
HH
