Albion are delighted to announce that the club have
been awarded club of the month for February 2007 by
Mr Ian Mackay of The Edinburgh Evening News.
Redpath Albion have been recognised for their work with young people in
Lorne/Pilrig/Bonnington/Broughton/Calton areas of the city
and for it's ongoing community work in the wider Leith Community.
(Details)
Albion's Aussie Connection
Early in 2003 the club was approached by a
old club member asking for any surplus kit that could be donated to
help Aboriginal children in the Australian outback. Our club friend was working
at an out-post supply station in
Gapuwiyak,
Northern Territory, Australia. The
out-post serves the local Aboriginal and Farming communities and was so far from
civilisation that
the nearest
town was a 3 hour drive or flight away. In fact it was so isolated that the
local farming communities would actually arrive
by two-seater plane
to do their monthly shopping. We were happy to oblige and a full set of kit was
handed over and is now worn
by the local Aboriginal Aussie Rules Football Team.
Regular emails are sent to the club from Oz and it would seem Redpath Albion has
been adopted by the local community.
Fame at Last!!
