Hi everyone! Here is what happened on Saturday 22nd March at the home of Scunthorpe United.
It was a day when my two abiding passions came together – Friends of Pakati, and The Iron…
Here is a video from YouTube showing what happened, with thanks to my friend Lee, who hosts the football vlog, Around the Grounds. Friends of Pakati had a stall at the Community Day, prior to the match between Scunthorpe United and Chester FC
My thanks go also to Alison Redhead, a fellow Iron fan & long-term friend, and my youngest son Daniel, for helping out on the stall.
We sold quite a few raffle tickets for the main orize – a signed, framed Scunthorpe United football shirt from the 2010/11 season. Following the draw in the Iron Bar just after the game, the winning ticket belonged to a girl called Mollie, who attends the games with her Dad, Richard. We will be presenting the prize to Mollie this coming Saturday, pictures to follow afterwards.
On the day we raised a fantastic £115 towards our goal, now we have a total of £256.28 in the bank (see our page ‘Finances’. A huge THANK YOU to all who donated on the day – Iron fans came up trumps again for Friends of Pakati👏👏👏👏👏
On an interesting note, we met someone who may well feature in future blogs, as he spoke about offering support to Friends of Pakati possibly on a long term basis….much more is to come on this as we are currently duscussing in more detail. A podcast and/or vlog is planned for mid-April.
Coming up soon…
We have some new pictures & videos from Pakati Primary & Secondary schools, as they have been involved in an annual Sports, Science & Arts Festival.
Soon, we will be releasing our podcast, which we recorded recently with Sharlom Chaitika, our regular donor we featured not long ago.
Keep an eye out for more updates from Friends of Pakati!
