Help CTA, Help CTA and support Scotland!

[CTA]

A must for this Saturday and help support the Christmas Lights.

The Campbeltown Tartan Army (the real CTA ) are selling CTA wrist bands this week as part of the build up for the vital 2008 qualifier versus World Champions Italy this Saturday at Hampden Park.

The wrist bands are £2 each and the CTA will donate £1 for each band sold to the Campbeltown Traders Association to help go towards the excellent Christmas Lights that the local traders work so hard to supply to the town.

The Campbeltown Tartan Army hope to sell enough of the bands to donate £500 to the Traders Association so please purchase one! (or two or three). The local group who follow the national team have raised over £8000 towards local charities in the last three years with the last donation of £505 going to the Marie Semple Cancer Relief Charity following a collection as part of the parade during the Music Festival in August.

Bands are available from a number of shops in the town including InterSport, Browns, McMillans Newsagents and public houses Whisky Macs and Commericial Inn.

If you or your business would like to sell these bands please PM here or see David Paterson, Stephen Dott or Willie Renton.

Just a quick post to say following the Campbeltown Tartan Army's first meeting of the year a donation of £543.00 has been made to the Campbeltown Traders Association to help with the Christmas Light Project for 2008.

Thanks to the following establishments etc who sold the bands

Commercial Inn 66
Whisky Macs 73
Campbeltown Tartan Army 227
Davaar Bar 24
Burnside Bar 40
InterSport 62
D M Brown 13
Chocolate Box 18

Total 543

Having paid for the bands there was a further £243.00 left over. The committee have decided to put this money towards the running costs of the Scotland Supporters Club Seven A-side event we are hosting in Campbeltown on Saturday 14th June 2008. We are looking to host a weekend of activities which will see over 200 people visit the town from Friday to Sunday. Once over (and we sell more of the remaining bands!) we will make a further donation to a local charity/cause and break through the £10,000 mark on donations made by the Campbeltown Tartan Army.

Thanks everyone who helped to sell the wrist bands and of course those who purchased one (or two) and helped us make a donation to this worthwhile cause. Much appreciated.
