    The Moonlighter got a reaction from mearns loyal in Lodge Alexandra 1282 and The Restoration of Rangers Graves Project.   
    Yesterday afternoon we had the pleasure of presenting the Founders Story at Wood Street Social Club for Lodge Alexandra 1282 and friends. A fantastic afternoon of celebration was had by all.
    At the end of the presentation our Restoration Donations bucket was sent around the hall and the amazing amount of £328.70 was raised.
    We’d like to sincerely thank all who attended for their overwhelming generosity and in particular Andy Honest for a cracking afternoon.

    The Moonlighter got a reaction from Drunk and disorderly. in The Founders Trail Roadshow.We’re Back And Now Taking Bookings!   
    Now that restrictions have been lifted we’ll be delighted to bring the hugely popular Founders Roadshow to your Pub or Club.
    As we celebrate our 55th Title hear the incredible story of how it all began.
    We at the Founders Trail are aware that due to time constraint, distance and cost many supporters can't make the journey to Glasgow to join us on the Founders Trail so back in 2014 we launched the Founders Trail Roadshow which is an alternative format which lets us take our wonderful story out to you.
    The Founders Trail Roadshow tells the story of our Founders from the shores of the Gareloch, to their arrival in Glasgow and their journey to the front door of Ibrox Stadium This is done by way of a slideshow presentation. We profile each of our Founders and the subsequent growth of our unique club into a worldwide sporting institution.
    The presentation also provides an insight into the Restoration of Rangers Graves Project and of course the Founders Trail. We hope that by telling this story it will give everyone an understanding of the very foundations upon which those lads built our club.
    Over the last few years our Founders Trail Roadshow has visited places such as Belfast, Londonderry,Plymouth,Blackpool,Campbletown,Fraserburgh,Thringstone and Aberdeen.
    The presentation lasts for approximately 90 mins,with a 20 minute interval we also encourage a Q&A session at the conclusion.
    The roadshow can be booked to coincide with other entertainment you may wish to provide for those attending.
    We have all of our own equipment,all we need from you is a plug point and an audience.
    If you would like to discuss us bringing the Founders Trail Roadshow to your supporters club, lodge or organisation then please email us at thefounderstrail

    The Moonlighter got a reaction from andyhrfc in The Restoration of Rangers Graves Project and David Hill.   
    A couple of years ago we located the final resting place of Rangers player David Hill in an East Kilbride cemetery. Restoration work has now been carried out and a memorial plaque placed at the base.



    David Hill was born in 1858 in Perth. He joined Rangers in 1875 and played with the Club until 1884. He’s pictured here with his Rangers team mates in that iconic photograph from 1877.
    David went on to become a Scottish Internationalist and gave the club many years of service.
    David was employed as a Turkey Red salesman and lived at 17 Main Street East Kilbride.His house was above the two shops pictured that he owned.

     
    David Hill married a Jane Isobel Campbell Storer on the 2nd June 1904. He died on 3rd February 1920 at 4 Ann Street Glasgow aged 61.
    David saw Rangers grow from that fledging club born in a Glasgow park into Ibrox and huge attendances.
    As we continue to celebrate our 55th Title we remember David Hill.
