72barca 1,788 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Great to get info from those that really know what is going on. Only wish the Scottish media could be so factual.Indeed, that information was very helpful in appreciating what is being covered at Hollybush house. It is great that the authorities are recognizing that PTSD is directly related to 'service' conditions.God bless all who pass through these treatment programmes. I hope they find relief.

govanblue 16,847 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 I've received the figures from Admin now.The figures cover all PayPal donations up to 4am on the 3rd August.(So NamibianBear, I think you'll be the first donation on the next set of figures.)As I mentioned, the total PayPal figure was £2,859.71, (£300 of that is for the Sponsors' Fund, the rest for Erskine) but we still have a few pledges to come in, so we could perhaps make the £3,000 mark. I've also sent a PM to about 20 members to try to match up the unidentified donations. Bobby Hume 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Another good day for the Fund…I gave the 'Rangers Legends Volume 2' (6 DVD Box Set), which Bluepeter9 kindly donated, to Erskine tonight. We also bought them Volume One off ebay, so now they have all 12 DVDs – That should keep them going for a while. I also collected £60 for the Fund. SoldierBlue1 also gave me £51 to buy him a Year’s worth of Rangers Lotto. He's decided not to buy a Puma Shirt this year, because he reckons Rangers Youth Development needs his money more. He's right! So we now have 6 Fund Lines, Plus 2 Member Lines per week. So that’s £415 to Rangers Lotto so far this season.And did you notice – we won 3rd Prize in tonight’s Rising Stars Raffle. Good to see Mr Tombola intends to support the Fund again this year. So that’s £100 we won tonight. I've got the cheque already. We’ll obviously want to spend our winnings on more Rangers Youth Development.Total raised today: £211 Oh and I’m sure you will be glad to hear that the Residents of Combat Stress will all be staying up till midnight tonight, so that they can watch the whole game on their shiny new Rangers TV account. And we’re also now a step closer to me being able to tell you about that excellent news I’ve been keeping under wraps, but not just yet.
