You mean to say that Mr Bannerman is a unionist. Good grief, you'll be telling me he has gaps in his Procaimers music collection next and has resigned from the Tesco Drivers Appreciation Society....

He was asked, but due to his dislike of separatism he's refused until they rename it the UK dept.

Well, chaps and chapesses, I am pleased to add a positive note to my last post. Today I received a very nice email from Mr Cameron, apologising for the delay in acknowledging my letter to the club. Apparently he was on holiday when it arrived and the staff put it in the safe for safe-keeping until he arrived back. After that he was able to access it and, during a visit to Raigmore hospital with couple of the players to see a very sick young fan, he has made a beautiful gesture by inviting the very sick lad and his mother to be a guest of the club in a secluded private box at the next match at home, then to be shown the usual excellent club hospitality in the boardroom and to meet the players and so on. Whether the boy can be allowed out of the hospital to go to the game prior to his recovery, and then going off to Australia to join his father who has now emigrated there and awaits the safe arrival of his family, may be problematical but from all accounts he is ecstatic and elevated in spirit already. I think he may well be there on the day and I know from my own expereince of 4 years ago ,when I was treated equally-well upon a rare visit to the club, the memories will be with him for the rest of his life. You may take the boy away from the club but you can't take the club out of the boy's heart and memories. It would be nice if this uplifting little story could be printed by the local Courier so that all concerned in Inverness can see that the club's officials are indeed highly-motivated and do care about the young and the disadvantaged in the town . Anybody care to give the newspaper a call - it's certainly a newsworthy event? If the young man cannot get to the match then I have Mr Cameron's assurance that the club ..."will find a suitable candidate or candidates to ......take up the offer....and will et me know the outcome by email. I am very happy that all's well that ends well and that the club's attitude in general has beeen amply vindicated by this fine gesture . I do thank Kenny Cameron for his thoughtfulness in doing this and for advising me promptly of the club's thoughts and actions

Fraid that it clashes with my ICTFC scouting mission to the Canaries. Perhaps some of the Juanjo Away crew will pass on ma best wishes to the man with a packet of sweets and a cheeky smile !!
