WELL DONE

[Swanseajock]

I have just seen the headline on the Courier web site that this has been a record year for fund raising for the RNLI in the Town. A big hurrah to everyone. I remember saying to my Mum that considering the (relatively) few folk that live in the town and surrounding area, and considering the financially difficult times we live in, everyone is forever puting their hands in their pockets for one thing or another - coffee mornings every week, raffles, football and other sports clubs, the list goes on and on.
As someone who has been away for 32 years, and been the butt of endless 'tight Jock' jokes (and taken them as jokes), I say WELL DONE TO ALL THE FOLKS IN THE WEE TOON

Swanseajock, I was going to do a seperate post on a different thread to say much the same thing so it seems better just to gatecrash your post!
A group of us did The Great North Run in Newcastle in September and have only just in the last few days finally got all our money together!
We hoped to raise £2500.00 for a wheelchair for one child to compete in the olympics in 2012. our final total was £4059.80!
That is not down to anything we did, it's down to the generosity of the people of kintyre who time and time again, give to charity and dig deep when required!
Huge thank you 's to everybody who helped raise this amazing amount of money. The business's who donated will be mentioned over the next few days but amazing thanks have to go out to the members of the public, who helped raise this astounding amount of cash! . What a wonderful place Campbeltown is!
