govanblue 16,847 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 And here is the News. Tonight, read by Iain McG from Erskine Bishopton... The Residents of Pearson House, Erskine Bishopton had a great day out at Ibrox on Tuesday. The following faces have been blurred - not to protect their identity, but because I think the photographer had had one half too many! Artist's reconstruction: Business news now... Now over to our reporter, live from the naughty seat... Archives: Erskine were delighted to discover that one of the medals that they presented to Rangers a few months ago... ... is indeed proudly on display in the trophy room... And now the Sport. Here's Old Iain (He's 82 btw) just reminding us all that he's still got it. (Sadly' I've had to crop the picture, cos it's just too hot for you guys to handle - and no, I'm not PMing it to you. ) Phew, after all that, I bet they had an appetite... Luckily the RangersMedia Erskine Fund had laid on a 3 course meal and a pint for everyone. We're already planning the next one. And that's why we need your donation! And tonight's headlines again...

DavieMacRFC 850 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Class mate....absolutely class. The work you guys do for these amazing people is simply superb and makes me so proud to be a Bear. You guys deserve some recognition of some sort if not a knighthood for the work you do. @thedude maybe you could highlight this in some of your articles as some positive press ?

There's always a heavy price to pay for fame. And anyway, See that medal in the Rangers Trophy case? Well I got mine before them!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Oh, I forgot.... There was a message along with those photos... Quote On behalf of all the Veterans who attended an absolutely fabulous day out at Ibrox for the tour and then the Argyle Restaurant for a 3 course lunch (and of a course some wee goldies that the guys loved), I wish everyone from RangersMedia could have been there to witness the happiness it brought into their lives, as for most of them it was on their Erskine Wish List, which you and everyone in the RM Fund have made possible so many times over the years. Keep up the fab work, as without your help it just wouldn't be possible . THANKS A MILLION TIMES OVER GUYS AND GIRLS PEARSON HOUSE STAFF, BILLY AT REC AND KENNY TRANSPORT AND OF COURSE ALL OUR ERSKINE VETERANS WE OWE SO MUCH TO - ERSKINE HOME BISHOPTON Quote ...like to thank our Tour Guide and all the staff in the Argyle Resturant from all at Pearson House, Erskine Bishopton Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelrug 268 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I had the privilege of visiting Erskine Home at Bishopton yesterday and met a few of the veterans (some of whom are in the above pictures). Let me re-iterate how grateful these guys are for the generosity of the members of RangersMedia who support govanblue's efforts (not forgetting Zetland's efforts too). They were so happy to blether away about the football and the coming season and how much the days out (not only to the matches) mean to them. It really was humbling to see how much of a difference we, as a group here, are making to the guys whose service has made a difference to us and the way we live. Also a wee word for the staff too, the Erskine home is a credit to all the people that work there and those that support it. The place was immaculate, relaxed and appeared to be an enjoyable place for our veterans. The staff made us feel so welcome and again they could not stress how much we at RangersMedia mean to the people at Erskine. At the moment it appears to be fashionable to have a pop at our club and our supporters but yesterday I saw how much we are appreciated by people that really do matter. We should never forget that.
