Big hearts at Tynecastle

By Steven Bowron

Tynecastle Hearts Club proved they have hearts of gold when they held a charity auction for CHAS at the famous football stadium a few weeks ago.
The big-hearted bunch raised nearly £2000 for our hospice appeal — thanks in part to a certain Jedi Knight, Ewan McGregor, who sent them an autographed photo for auction.


Robert rummages for the winning ticket.

As the picture of Crieff’s most famous son, who has starred as Obi-Wan Kenobi in two Star Wars movies, went under the hammer, you can imagine the women in the room all wishing, “Oh, be MY one, Kenobi”!
In the end the hammer came down on the prized mug shot at £100, sold to an anonymous fan.
More money was raised with a raffle, with wheelchair-bound Robert Ness, who attends Rachel House, opening the proceedings by picking the first ticket.
Organiser Janet Purdie from Bathgate said the evening, which attracted 260 people, was a great success and assured us everyone had a fantastic night raising money for our campaign.
