Scott is my son who is at present serving in Afghanistan. Scott has been following TFC since he was 4 years of age SAPPA FARRINGTON
Scott is on a 6 month tour of duty in Sangin, Afghanistan
with 73 Armoured Squadron, 21 Engineers Regiment
Scott has now left Camp Bastion with its Pizza Hut, electricity, proper showers, proper food and homely comforts as telephones and internet access.
At present, Scott is stationed where there is no electricity, no showers and the only food available is the Army rations, which aren’t that pleasant day after day. So if anyone can spare or can donate any of the following, please can you contact me or leave behind the bar in the club house (see poster in club for further details)
Baby/Wet wipes Biscuits (not chocolate) Pringles
Crisps Sweets (not chocolate) Chewing Gum
Mints Magazines Empty Shoe Boxes
Hot Chocolate Sachets Teabags Sachets of Coffee
Please include a letter to Scott to keep him up to date , as it can get extremely lonely out there.
Thank you all so much for your support
if you wanna donate idividual items or put them in a box its up to you. The box should weigh no more than 2 kgs. i can collect them and send them off. any quieries just contat me.

If your boy mentions a rather large parcel full of books, mags, toiletries, choccies etc, sent not to him specifically but to his regiment then it's from the regulars at The Dovecote, West Bromwch. We support our lads out there, hope they all get back safely.

Message recieved from Sgt Walthew 21 Eng Reg Mr Farrington, Firstly may I take this opportunity to thank you in your support of the 21 Engr Regt wristband fund, it is very much appreciated by the Regt. I glad all went well on Saturday and that the wristbands got there on time. If you do have another event of that nature and you require more wristbands please don’t hesitate to contact me in plenty of notice so we can arrange early delivery. It would be very much appreciated if you could send some photos of the day and if possible copies of the programme, with the write up in, to the following e-mail address: . As I mentioned on the phone earlier this morning, I am sure it will mean a lot to the troops knowing that not only families but the wider community are supporting them in these very testing times. Once again, on behalf of the Regt I would like to thank all those involved for their support.

Sorry to hear that.
My thoughts go out to the family and friends of the two lads.
Lets hope that there are no further unfortunate events.
I hope TFC make your lads return as special as mine was.
