Welcome to the


RM Sponsors' ERSKINE LUNCH FUND


discussion thread 2014/2015.



1. What is the Erskine Lunch Fund (ELF)


As most of us know, The RM Sponsors' Fund is bound by its 'charter' to spend its money exclusively on Rangers FC.


This proved problematic when we wanted to buy a group of Erskine Veterans their lunch in the Argyle Restaurant as part of an Ibrox day out - because the restaurant is operated by Azure, and not by Rangers, so our rules forbade us from paying for the lunch.


Undeterred we simply launched another fund where members could donate money specifically to support Erskine, without the restriction of having to spend the money on Rangers FC.


The RM Erskine Lunch Fund
Rules:

1. Spend all money raised on Erskine
2. Make Erskine Residents happier







The Sponsors' Fund itself also continues to support Erskine whenever it can of course, by buying official Rangers FC products and services for the benefit of Erskine Veterans.

To find out more about what the ELF has been up to, have a look at these Erskine Lunch Fund threads from the last year or so.

http://forum.rangers...arch_app=forums

And here are some great photos of some fantastic memorabilia items donated by RM members as part of our RM Erskine Football Memories Programme - whereby we donate Rangers and other memorabilia to Erskine Homes for use in their football-based dementia therapy sessions - and also for the benefit of any Veteran Bears who would appreciate them (For example every Bear in Erskine Park home who wanted one got an Ibrox snowglobe and a Broxi Beanie Bear :D - And there are one or two Nacho Silk scarves floating around too ;) )

Anyway, hope that enlightens any of you who weren't sure what the Erskine Lunch Fund is all about, and hope to see you answering the call when it's time for more donations.


And now on to this season's news...

What a great reminder GB of what has been done so far for these deserving people.

Always willing to help out with a donation whenever you need it (tu)

You're lucky - you got the short version - I wrote a version twice as long and the page crashed! :D

...am more than happy to devote time to the cause wherever I can.

I'll definitely take you up on that - I just need to find the time to find out how to use your time :D

I'm sure I had an idea, or a funny vision or something the other day, but I'm too tired to remember what it was. :(

It'll come to me. Best thing for me is to speak to Carol and ask her for ideas. We could maybe even put a wee volunteer work party at their disposal for a half day or something. (tu)

You need some more sleep GB, it seems only a couple of hours since you said you were going to bed. :lol:

Yeah that didn't happen: :(

Ach 4 hours sleep and 4 cups of coffee - I'll be fine. Did I mention I'm working today? I'll catch up on everything tonight.

Gb.

Me and 2 boys from work got STs for SW2 this coming season.

Im away in the sun for the hearts game, is my ticket of any use to you?

Pm if can donate to any cause you may have.....

Will do.

It would be good to have some kind of spare s/t donation thread, but from experience, it's maybe more hassle than it's worth. It's a big subject which we should discuss sometime soon.

News Update:

News item #1

Erskine will be celebrating its centenary in 2016 and are looking for special ways to mark the occasion.

Wouldn't it be great if we knew a first class artist willing to donate his time and talent to create a commemorative mural in the Erskine hospital.

I dunno - someone capable of something as awesome and appropriate as this for example...

well guess what... :thumbup:

I'm reluctant to say too much, because it's very early days.

But if it does come off, I'm only due a facilitator's share of the credit - it's totally all down to one of our Loyal Fund Members. (tu)

That's a great idea (tu)

Was there not a poster on here before who was really good at artwork and stuff, think they set up the Copland road streetwear stuff actually now I think about it but I can't remember their name on here.

I think that was The Games Artist? or TheGamesArtist? - one was an established Rangers-friendly commercial artist. I don't think he posts here anymore. The other was was a banned troll - he probably still does. :lol:

But no, that's not who we're thinking of. (tu)

I won't say any more just now, till I check it's ok with the Fund Member. (tu)

Good idea, I saw two pictures of puppet on your photo's :rolleyes: , I heard recently that he died.

Coincidentally, I just found that out too yesterday.

I guess I should remove the photos as a mark of respect. (tu)

Edit: Photos removed - just noticed how much random stuff I've got on photobucket. must clean it out sometime.
