I'll bea heading across to Erskine early next week to drop off the whisky etc.  I'll also need to talk to them about plans and options regarding renewing our Erskine Season Tickets.  That might be a whole other headache to deal with. 

 

We've also raised about £1100 or so this month for Erskine.  We'll have a chat with them about how best to utilise that too.

I am sure there is still time for a small donation if anyone has a couple of pounds spare at this very difficult time.

Yes, I'm heading over to Erskine on Thursday, so any donations before then can be added on to the final amount.

Any donations after that can go to the next Fundraiser.

I didn't quite make it on Thursday, so instead it will be Wednesday.

The extra time did give me an opportunity to get another shopping list from Erskine, so I've been out buying more beer and wine and snacks.   Several hundred pounds worth.  Photos to follow.

Apparently the Residents could really go a fish supper too.  I'm sure we can assist there too. 

In the meantime, here's a previous fish supper photo...

Fantastic work GB. 

I was tempted to quote you post, but since you have done such a good job I did not think it right to annoy you.

[Bobby Hume 12,969]

.... and not one lettuce .... broccoli or cucumber in sight ...... not one trace of "green" at all.

You are a genius GB ...... well done mate great work done as usual.

[Junior Soprano 22,428]

I’ve got mark hatelys worn shirt, not signed, not framed. Won in an auction by me ☺️ If this could be used to raise funds for Erskine, I’d be happy to donate.

Always wanted to wear it but me and mark aren’t actually the same size 😂😂😂
