Thank you Gavin for all of your fundraising efforts over the years, I had a great time today and I hope that the good causes are rewarded financially as you will be in kind.
Quinny for a gong, the campaign starts here. _________________ Hope he's got plenty Rovers action to comment on tonight.... |

No worries wolfman you enjoyed yourself at the bar all day and so far about £2500 was raised from yesterdays gig which adds up to over £5000 from the 3 events.Well short of what i wanted to raise but still a decent amount.I would like to thank everyone who came along yesterday,sponsored bands or went to the other 2 events etc as you have helped in a big way.I would also like to thank all those who helped me at the gig as without that help it wouldnt go ahead.Finally i would like thank everyone who have contributed over the last 10 years to the success of rock the rovers.You have made a difference to many good causes and the football club so everyone should be proud of that.I am now going to take a break from fundraising and decide whether to do another gig in 2 years.We shall see.  _________________ YOULL NEVER WALK ALONE

All I'd like to say is well done for all your efforts over the last decade. A tremendous undertaking each year for anyone to organise in terms of sponsorship, venues, bands etc. To get it to all come together each time and for those attending to enjoy themselves and then for a variety of charities including RRFC to benefit from all the effort deserves all the kudos going.
Congratulations and a public thank you from me although I've never been near the event for obvious reasons..... too auld!  _________________ Talk on! Talk on!
