Before the match, the Auction, Silent Auction, Raffle and Free Prize Draw (thank you Dog Falls!) attracted a lot of interest. We also launched our Prize Draw for a unique signed print designed by Stewart Coghill, and full details of that are in a dedicated thread here: https://caleythistleonline.com/topic/36498-ict30-a-unique-not-to-be-missed-opportunity/ Thank you once again to everyone who came along.

We have sent the e-mail copied below to our members this morning, and we would welcome further volunteers, particularly for the areas highlighted in the e-mail. If you are willing and able to assist, or know someone who can, please contact us at [email protected]. Together we can help the club through these difficult times. Content of e-mail: First of all I would like to thank you for responding to our request for volunteers. Many of you have already been called upon and we are so very grateful. Bar 94 - We could not have got this open without many volunteers and this is still a work in progress. If you haven't managed to check it out yet then please pop in for a pre or post match pint. To those of you who came along to help Dale (groundsman) before a recent game, he couldn't speak highly enough of you and was very appreciative of your time and effort. This is something likely to be repeated throughout the season. Others I know are still working away behind the scenes helping in different ways. Now more than ever before we need help in all areas and this may include matchdays. Whether it's helping in the bar, taking a turn in one of the Blue High Vis jackets assisting the support, working with Dale, picking up a paint brush or anything else that may come up. We are hoping to run another 'permission to sell alcohol' course shortly so if you have any experience or just fancy learning a new skill then please let us know. At the meeting last week we were asked to put a call out to anyone with security experience, especially if you happen to have an SIA badge. (If you don't know what this is then you won't have it lol).
