Glasgow players help send aid out to tsunami survivors

AK, JP, Kenny and Euan watch as desk-jockeys, Piper and Hood are lifted into the container for some hard labour
Glasgow Warriors players spent their free time this morning loading containers of aid bound for some of the countries affected by last month's tsunami.

Captain JP led his players in loading artic containers with medical supplies, blankets, clothes and tinned food at Glasgow the Caring City's depot in the Gorbals.

Kenny Logan, Andy Kelly, Scott Lawson, Euan Murray, Gordon Hood and Graeme Piper all mucked in with JP to fill the container which will provide food, tents and clothing to two thousand survivors for a week.

Great effort from all the guys today - they really mucked in, and their help was very much appreciated.

Good to see the guys giving up their day off to help out - but I heard the photographer didn't exactly roll up his sleeves and join in!

Will we be seeing any of these photos in the national press? If not, why not? Good job well done by the guys.. great to see the caring side of Glasgow Rugby.
I suggest that the photographer was on the injury list!
Thanks for the link to the web site.

The photographer was uninjured, but in the middle of another strenuous day's work. It was all he could do to focus the camera....

On behalf of everyone at Glasgow the Caring City International Aid & Development, thank you to the players and back room staff at Glasgow Rugby for their efforts on Wednesday.

Not only did the guys work extremely hard but they also provided a motivational boost for our staff that have been working non-stop since the events of 26th December.

We look forward to sustaining our relationship with the team and also the glasgowwarriors.com website.

Look out for our 4x4, which will be at the ground on Friday night, helping to generate some funds, to support our projects across the world.

Once again thank you all.

Excellent and very proud of the fact that this event took place.

On another matter. All the photos of players standing all over forks on a forktruck, especially high off the ground.

I'm sure the Health & Safety people wouldn't be too happy about viewing that!

...and the situation seems to get worse if the health & safety decide to prosecute. They have the evidence in photo form to do so! Think about it guys!
