Food Bank collection
Will there be a collection point at the top or bottom of the cricket field entrance walkway off Belvedere Rd this Sunday?
Bought a few extra tins during the weekly 'big shop' today to donate but as we're having a couple of scoops in town after the game just wanted to check so I'm not carrying them around with me all afternoon

Great, thanks Tony
Re: Food Bank collection
There were 2 bins opposite the table where they check bags VC last week at the Palace game
Re: Food Bank collection
There was which is perfect for us entering that way, it was quite funny last weekend, as I held the rucksack for my wife to get the tins out the bag the operator was chatting to us and as he lifted the lid on one of the bins a young chap who had walked past earlier saw what was happening came back and reached out with his empty coffee cup and was about to drop it in the bin, assuming it was for rubbish, we all had a laugh about it. We’ll done by the way to everyone giving up their time to do the collections. I’ve sorted my tins for Sunday.

Re: Food Bank collection
WYClarets are doing it and we’ve agreed, if all eight bins can be filled, we’ll do our next collection in swimwear!
Re: Food Bank collection
Right everyone can we all bring 20 tins each.

Re: Food Bank collection
Is it just tins or do you want other things eg pasta toiletries etc? What are the most desirable tins eg beans, tuna etc? Keep up the great work! UTC

Re: Food Bank collection
After doing a food bank here. Tinned goods are great but even better if they have pop top lids.
Small amounts of cooking oil helps with things like boxed cake mixes pasta etc etc.

Re: Food Bank collection
Thanks to those who contributed today. Obviously a quieter day due to finishing early and there being no game.

John Walters has tweeted something about Celtic fans getting fined 60 quid each while collecting for a food bank in Glasgow.

Re: Food Bank collection
Never made it to The Turf today due to that pesky snowy stuff so still have a carrier bag full of stuff which I'll bring down to the West Ham game instead.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 4:22 pmThanks to those who contributed today.

Well done anyway to the guys/gals who turned out today and collected/donated today despite the inclement weather.

Re: Food Bank collection
I'll keep my tins for next time, I was on the way to the ground when the postponement was called.
All well in date!
As above, well done to the collectors.
