A massive thank you again to everyone who came out and made our charity night such a brilliant success.
We do want to be completely transparent with you about a frustrating situation behind the scenes. Sadly, one of our original suppliers repeatedly changed our agreed terms before the event. When we rightfully walked away to secure a reliable alternative, they refused to return our Β£200 deposit. They are currently holding this charity money unlawfully.
As a community-run initiative, every single pound counts. Taking a Β£200 hit from the final fundraising pot is a real dampener, especially given how hard everyone works to maximise the money we give to the charities.
We are still taking action privately to recover the funds, but we wanted to be honest about why the final total will be slightly lower than it should be.
As soon as we have an update and a final total, we'll let you know.
Thank you so much, as always, for your incredible support.
CRAZY BINGO NIGHT: THANK YOU! ππ
What a night. Our first ever charity event off the pitch, and you lot absolutely delivered.
We raised over Β£4,000. That's incredible, and every single contribution counted, whether you were in the room or bought raffle tickets from afar.
A massive thank you to everyone who came, supported, and showed up for this. And a special shoutout to who was a fantastic host for the evening. He kept the the night alive from start to finish.
That money is going somewhere special. In August, we'll be playing at Olivebank, the home of Musselburgh Athletic, with funds split between The Burgh Foundation and SNAC, a charity that supports children with arthritis and their families. It's a cause close to our hearts, and this game is going to mean a lot.
More to come. Thanks again. ππ
