*** RM Erskine Fund Christmas Fundraiser - Donate now, or Christmas gets cancelled!  ***

 

As you know, the RM Erskine Fund has a long tradition of donating a last-minute cheque to each of our 3 Erskine Homes, for them to spend exclusively on extra treats for their Christmas party. 

This season is no exception, except that it's even more last-minute than usual - and this year, we'll probably want to make a donation to Bravehound and Hollybush House too, if we can raise enough.

In years gone past, our Christmas donations to Erskine have really made a difference.  For example, Erskine Park had to borrow a Santa suit for their annual Christmas party,  before we bought them this one:

Now they have Santa whenever they need him.  Brilliant, eh? 

 

The other novelty costumes that they bought are sadly falling apart now,     So they're at the top of their wish list:

Hi gb,

I've sent several pictures as requested. Some of our guys enjoying an Ibrox tour and others showing some of the Christmas outfits that the staff wear during December at various functions.  

Our veterans love to see the staff embracing the Christmas spirit. Sadly our costumes have become worn and have lost their sparkle. The turkey has had the stuffing knocked out of it, the tree has drooped and the cracker no longer goes with a bang!!!!!!! 

RangersMedia Erskine Fund were responsible for the purchase of these items a few years ago. Our veterans now need that extra sparkle once again. Your support will put the smile back on their faces this Christmas as they once again witness our staff in their Christmas outfits sharing the Christmas love. Your annual Christmas donation will once again ensure that our veterans enjoy a magical Christmas.

Thanks for your continued support,

Erskine Park xx

 

 

 

These decorations we paid for should be good for a few years to come...

    

 

... but I'm sure they'd like to add a few new decorations to freshen things up a bit, so hopefully we'll raise enough to help with that.

Erskine Bishopton will probably use their donation for another pantomime.  They like a good panto in Bishopton.

   

 

 And a few single malts too, I'll wager.

 

 

 

 

So without further ado, let's get on with it...

 

 

If you're already a Fund Member, then £5 would be a more than reasonable amount to donate, thank you very much 

But of course many of you will insist on donating more, and that's fine too, but don't go too mental!  

If you're not already a Fund Member, then please consider donating £10 or more, and that way you will also become an Honoured Member of the RM Erskine Fund for the full season. 

You can donate via PayPal  (it's the same PayPal address that we've always used.  PM @Zetland if you don't know it already)

Or you can donate via Bank Transfer  (Not the old 72 account though - we've got a new account, so PM @Zetland for details)

Once you've donated, please PM @govanblue or @Zetland to let us know and we will locate your donation, and add you to Santa's Good Bear List.

Matchday bump.

Christmas is always a tight month but with the lack of home games maybe theres a fiver or tenner spare that would otherwise have been spent at the fitba.

Some amount of work the folk on here and at Erskine do for some very special and deserving people.

Be great to see a huge RM 'donated" list

🇬🇧💷👍
