FIRST FUND-RAISER IS BIG SUCCESS

Dundee East Community Sports Club’s first major fund-raising event, a Sportsman’s Dinner held at the Invercarse Hotel on 3 October 2009, has been hailed a great success.

“Everything went well and as planned,” stated a delighted DECSC Chairman Gordon Deuchars. “The final amount raised is expected to be in excess of £5900, which is fantastic for our first dinner.”

Kevin Lee, the Scottish Football Association’s Dundee-based Regional Club Development Manager and an advisor to the DECSC committee, was equally enthusiastic: “I just want to congratulate the DECSC on a fantastic evening. It clearly demonstrated what I believe are the main benefits of a Community Club - pooling resources, effective partnership, working together etc. I’m sure there will be many more successful projects in the future.”
