The World Famous Thai Tims ,Civic Reception in the City Chambers

Postby John Andrews » Tue May 01, 2012 3:35 pm

Glasgow’s Lord Provost Bob Winter hosted a Civic Reception in the City Chambers yesterday for the world famous Thai Tims from the Good Child Foundation in Thailand.
The kids have become an internet sensation by learning English in a unique way, they do it by singing Celtic songs in school, and I believe they are the only school in the world to use this system.
The kids received a wonderful reception form those present, and they burst into song when two of their heroes arrived, Emilio Izaguirre and Adam Mathews, they are truly inspiring young children, I’m sure they will have a wonderful time here in Scotland as part of the Great Celtic Family.
Please take the time to watch this video of the children performing yesterday. The children will also perform before the match against St Johnstone on Thursday night; I would encourage all those that can to come early, its planned for the kids to sing on the pitch at Celtic Park at about 7.10pm, it’s an amazing experience, one you won’t want to miss.

The Celtic Supporters Association

The Celtic Supporters Association was the idea of Willie Fanning whose dream became a reality back in September 1944.

These were dark days on and off the pitch with the Second World War still raging and in comparison to those horrors rather more trivialy Celtic were not providing much joy to its supporters and defeat was a regular experience. Indeed the idea of a supporters association came to 27-year-old Willie while watching the Bhoys get thrashed 6-2 at Hamilton.

Willie decided to write to the Daily Record calling on fellow Celtic fans interested in establishing a supporters club to get in touch. A total of 14 people replied. Consequently a meeting was arranged at St Mark's and St Paul's Hall, Chester Street in Shettleston. The meeting proved to be a success - a provisional committee was installed and Willie was elected as President.

By the time of the second meeting at the A.O.H. Hall in Alexandria Parade in Townhead the word had spread. The hall was packed and car loads of supporters from across Glasgow and beyond eager to attend created a traffic jam along the parade.

A constitution was drawn up which allowed the new organosation to become an amalgamation of supporters clubs. Within 12 months membership had rocketed to 700 and the association had won the official endorsement of Celtic FC who handed over the responsibility of distributing match tickets to affiliated branches of the CSA.

The CSA remains a strong and influential body. Apart from following Celtic in massive numbers it has a social club in Glasgow and its annual Supporters Rally is a highlight in the Celtic calendar.

True to the traditions of Celtic FC the CSA also has a proud and continued ethos of raising funds for charity.
