Firhill Centenary gala day

The Jags Trust are delighted to report that the sideshows at the club gala day raised almost £400 for Macmillan Cancer Care and with the cost of participation at only 20p for each stall, that demonstrates that our volunteers dealt with almost 2000 individual "shots" at the stalls! That's a throughput per volunteer of more than one wean a minute, which is why we were all a wee bit tired by 2pm, but it was great fun and we hope to take part in the next centenary event in 2076.

The Trust provided all of the prizes for the stalls and in financial terms we achieved a more than 100% return on that investment. Look out for more of the same in the weeks and months to come, with members subscriptions being invested to either raise cash for the trust to buy shares, support community initiatives or help local charities.
