Club Serve Up Feast for Homeless at Christmas
On Sunday 15th December the Club decided to give back to the local community. Arranged by our very own former Michelin star chef Jeremy Wares (& Tennent’s Club Volunteer of the Season 2018/19) the Senior Section met at the Salvation Army on the Skinnergate to prepare a feast for the homeless.
Alongside the 3 courses of pheasant broth, roast pork with all trimmings and apple trifle; Father Christmas came to deliver gifts to the diners. These gift boxes were wrapped and filled by donations from the Mini Section.
Jeremy Wares was delighted with the effort and community spirit shown by all from within Perthshire saying, “We should be very proud of the Mini Section, the amount of donations were wonderful and packing the boxes was a great team effort. The parents, kids and coaching teams were most generous and I was humbled to help hand out the boxes. We have great players & parents – the people at the Salvation Army were most grateful. It was pleasing to see so many of the 1XV players giving up their time to help. Its good to give back and do something for people less fortunate than ourselves.”
After the dinner service was completed Club Captain “MacKer” was grateful to all from the Club who had supported the activity and said, “We’re a community led club and we’re trying to spread some Christmas cheer. We get a lot of support from the local community and we thought this would be a nice way to show our gratitude and do a good deed for the city of Perth.”
