The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Well done to everyone for this, especially Stacey who worked so hard to not just collect the pressies in, but to wrap them all getting them ready for the kids today - terrific job !! Makes ya even more prouder of our club.........if thats possible

Massive, massive thanks to everyone who donated a gift, thanks to my Katie for wrapping them but most of all thanks to Starms, Peaksy, Alfie, Morgs, Elliott and Jack who gave up their time this morning - all 6 were fantastic with the children and their parents; there were a lot of smiles in that ward while we were there.
I'm already so incredibly proud of what we've collectively achieved over the last year but I can honestly say that the little boy who said 'WOW!' as he opened his gift with Alfie just about moved me to tears.

We're not just about the football, we're a community club and we just keep on proving it

Merry Christmas to you all x
