Barwell barrels inch us closer to landmark amount

The Barwell Barrels were bountiful at our last home game at Gigg Lane, netting a very tidy £326. That means we are now just £269 short of raising £50,000 since the barrel collections were first started.

One of our regular home and away members won £50 on the halftime draw at the Flyde game two weeks ago and this started off the Barwell barrel count - many thanks Brenda. Also seven-year-old Jack Foster gave us some Tunisian money which we can exchange for roughly £30. There was also the usual motley collection of foreign stuff - US dollars, Peruvian, Norwegian, Danish and other foreign change which will be turned into English pounds in the New Year. All your contributions received with thanks.

As stated above, we are now only £269 short of the magical £50K since we started the barrel collections a few years ago. So, what if we all make that special effort and donate an extra 50 pence each at the New Years Day game against Trafford at Gigg Lane, and help attain that mind-boggling £50K? Or maybe you have been saving your change until the end of the year. If so, now’s the time to come on down please.

See you at Gigg Lane on New Years Day!
