Special Thanks to Two Incredible Bluebirds

Playing your part in running a supporters trust can be a very humbling experience and none more so when you come into contact with many of the supporters of Barrow AFC and what they will do to support the Trust and the club we love. There are many examples of this- it truly is a special club. 

I wanted to highlight two in people in particular, from the last month or so. One them is Popular Side stalwart Mrs Joan Barnes, who with her daughter Pauline rarely misses a home game and has been watching Barrow for many years. For what I believe was a significant birthday, rather than presents, she asked guests at the celebration  to contribute to Play Your Part. 
The collection raised an incredible £700. Thank you so much for this, it is appreciated by all.

The second person, is Tony Lewis, who most of you know passed away recently. Tony helped a great deal with both the Trust and travel in particular. A collection was held at Tony’s funeral, where a number of Barrow fans attended. This raised an incredible £650 for Pay Your Part. 
Huge thanks must go to the Lewis family but as his son Carl agreed, Tony would have been really pleased with the total as he was a great fundraiser for a number of causes. We will be putting a small plaque of thanks and remembrance for Tony, hopefully near where he stood with his friends on the West Terrace.
 I’m sure folk won’t mind me highlighting these two on this occasion. Thank you to all of you that support the trust in so many ways and first and foremost our great football club. 

All Bluebirds are Blue
