Postby Joe O'Rourke » Thu Nov 21, 2013 6:41 pm

Paul Lennon will be signing copies of his book “Bernie Bhoy & The Thai Tims” in our London Road Social Club on Saturday. Paul will be there from 12 noon until about 2.30, and then he’ll be heading over to Celtic Park for our match with Aberdeen.

The book tells s the story of how the Thai Tims came to exist, and how they have evolved, it will make you cry, but also make you laugh. It is very reasonably priced at £9.99, and all the proceeds will go to Charity.

So if you’re looking for a great Christmas present for some family or friends, you’ve got the perfect gift here, and you’ll be helping some worthy cause at the same time.

Another event for Saturday is our Annual Memorial Mass for deceased Celtic Supporters and their family and friends.

The Mass is being celebrated in St Michael’s RC Church, Parkhead at 12.30pm. There will be refreshments served in the Church Hall afterwards.

As normal Celtic CEO Peter Lawwell and our Honorary President Tom Boyd will be in attendance, as well as Lisbon Lions John Fallon and Charlie Gallagher.

It is right and fitting that we pay our respects to those who have gone before us to the other Paradise, please come and join us, you will be made most welcome.

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.
