BEARGER 1,829 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Willie Waddell Memorial Dear Member We have recently been contacted by the Willie Waddell Memorial Committee, who have asked for our assistance in circulating their appeal letter as they seek to create a lasting memorial to this Rangers great. We are pleased to assist them with their efforts and have enclosed their fundraising letter below. We will also be promoting their fund raising efforts via our social media channels. Club 1872 Dear Supporter, Firstly thank you for taking the time to read this letter. We are a small group of like-minded supporters who reside is a small mining village called Forth in South Lanarkshire, where Willie Waddell, a legend in Glasgow Rangers Football Club’s history came from. He was born on 7th March 1921, went to our local primary school, attended our local high school, Lanark Grammar, and played for the local junior team Forth Wanderers. Then at the age of 16 he signing for Glasgow Rangers Football Club and the rest is well known to all. It is the aim of our group to fund raise in order to mark the birthplace and achievements of a local lad who went on to achieve legendary status as a player, manager and lately an honorary director of the Glasgow giants. Our aim is two- fold, to rename the Local Sports centre to Willie Waddell Sports and Community Centre and secondly to erect a fitting monument that will reflect his achievements and stature. We have the full support for this project from the Scottish Football Association, Rangers FC, Kilmarnock FC, Forth Wanderers FC and the Waddell Family. For information on our activities please see our Facebook page https://www.facebook./williewaddellmemorial and Just-Giving page https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/williewaddell We are actively fund raising in order to reach a target of £17,000 alongside some external funding to allow us to proceed with our projected vision. We would be grateful if you would please consider donating to this very worthwhile cause. Any amount will be gratefully received to assist us in reaching our goal and honouring a man who changed Rangers Football Club for the better with his vision and modern thinking, who started off his journey in Forth. Yours sincerely, Neil Orr Secretary Willie Waddell Memorial Committee 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
