chopper Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 deserves to have a great night (especially as it is her 18th!!) *coughs* Ahem, anyway on topic - congrats to all involved. It is shaping up to be a cracking night and gutted I am missing out on being there and seeing some of the players who were coming to the ends of their times with the club when I started supporting them as a really young lad. The Jeanfield flag will be in the twoser Saturday morning when wee john drops it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazel1884 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I am shattered!!!!!! Great night - especially the end being one of the last ones to leave and John Pelosi telling us some stories! Thanks to everyone involved. I couldn't have had a better night. Really enjoyed myself. We more than doubled what we expected to make - delighted. And i hope the family are up so we can present them with a cheque next week. As i said to the family: It was our pleasure to organise this for Drew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1884 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Although the reasoning behind the event was one of great sadness, it was a great success and an absolutely fantastic night, right up until the last song of the disco when there was only a few of us left! Well done awbuddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUZZ Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 quality night, good to put some faces to the names you see on here. really enjoyed it all felt sorry for my man BEAR though, after watching his waxing thing again on my phone, he has my sympathys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Madrid Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 What a great day , a long day for those who were there from 10am till the end , what ever time that was ! but well worth it Bear I have nothing but admiration for everything you did in the last month to make this such a sucess. You have driven 100's of miles and no doubt spent hours on this and the 3750 total is a testimant to this Kev you like Bear have done 101's differnet things in the lead up to last night. Thanks for comparing the evening which cannot have been easy with so many in the room, putting the programme together and all the PR work you did Erchie and Bear, hows yer chests . The pictures are being uploaded as I type Hazel I don't think thats the 17th birthday you had planned a few months ago but I am sure you had a night to remember. The quality of the prizes for the raffle was superb To everyone else who played a part selling races and getting people there, looking after them well done Last night was the sort of night that makes me proud to be a Saints fan. We were looking after one of our own and unlike at bigger clubs everyone could play their part. The players from the 82/83 team certainly appreciated the support that was given to them. It was also great to see so many of the old faces. In some ways it was a sad night as well but I am sure the night will have meant so much to Drew and his family. As Owen Coyle said last night service like Drews does not happen a lot in modern football so it was very appropriate to do what we did last nigh.

saintcammy Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Looks like it was a great night. I wish I could have made it Well done to all those involved in organising it, I am sure the family are delighted with your efforts. Let us know if there is anything else happening. Can you keep us up to date with Drew and how he is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintkev Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Just to add my thanks and congratulations to all involved. A storming night, involving a lot of laughs and a fair few tears... I know all the players took the time to speak to Drew via Margaret's Mobile and I'm sure he really enjoyed that, so it's been a massive success in the cash raised, the enjoyable night, bringing old friends together, showing the potential Saints fans have to make something special, showing how we look after our own and giving Drew and his family a big boost in such a hard time. And to end this... Sammy Johnston... as many of you know, he's a god in my eyes, and the night only strenthened my view of him... quality!

Beej Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Great night, well done to all concerned. Is there going to be a list of who won what at the raffle posted or are winners just going to be conatcted in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintkev Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Winners will be contacted... and off the top of my head, I have no idea who they are, was slightly run of my feet! Also, the funds will be presented in the future, when we have found a time that suits the family. Might not be quite as soon as Hazel suggests.

McCarry One Nil Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Just to say "Real Madrid" has put it into words perfectly. A sad but truly great night to be a Saintee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintkev Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 An e-mail from a Saintee and friend of Drew's... Kev, Just a small (or maybe not) note to express my gratitude and admiration to yourself and all that worked tirelessly and unselfishly in organising last Saturday night's event for Drew and his family, for something that was pulled together so rapidly it was an outstanding success delivered with sympathy and consideration. The only thing that could have added to the occasion would have been the presence of the Big man himself, I would have loved to seen the look on his face when he seen the adulation that Saints fans hold for him (it would have blown him away) It was also great to be in the same room as former and current Saints and also so many fellow Saints supporter sharing the occasion. I'm just off to phone the Big Man to book in for a visit this week hopefully. In closing it was nice to put a face to the name, I've asked my wife to look out the away top similar to Drew's top that you were wearing on Saturday as I would like you to have it to use as a back up as no doubt Drew's top will soar in value to you personally due to current circumstances. It's time for you and your conspirators to shine up your halos and bask in every ounce of credit that comes your way!
