*Exclusive" Junior Blues "Meet the Players" Day today

[OldBlueLady]

Just a reminder for those of you who are parents of Junior Blues that they have their exclusive day with the players today where they can watch training, have photos and get stuff signed.

It's at Boots and Laces, starting at 9.45 a.m. Some parking available at the training ground, if not, then use Waitrose. Only Junior Blues will be admitted, membership details will be checked. Young supporters can be signed up on the spot though - you'll have to come and see me! :smile: Membership costs just £10 - it's great value.

For your further information, we're expecting to have a Christmas party with the players as well, which will also be exclusive to our Junior Blues.

You missed a great morning! Only had about 30 members over there so they had a great time with the players, getting as many photos and autographs as they wanted, messing about with Sammy and Elvis and then tucking into pizzas for lunch - all of which were kindly supplied by one of the Junior Blues partners, Papa Johns.

Love this one of the kid telling Freddy how to spell his name.

It's Freddy's birthday today, and he was on great form with the kids, spent by far the longest with them :smile: It was a really good morning, helped out by the weather being extremely kind.

And by the way, it was great to see Marc Laird taking part in full training this morning, and Julian Bennett walking around quite normally too :thumbsup:

Keep your eyes out for the Christmas party then - date yet tbc, but looking at early December! We're expecting to make this one an annual event, it's just a case of finding when the best time is for it. Got to say, considering we massively over-ordered on the pizzas, there weren't too many left by the time the kids and parents had been encouraged to eat their fill! Phil Brown went disappointed at the end as he had to go without :smiles:

Couldn't make today either looked like a fun day for the kids and some of there older kids! Thinking of taking kids to Adventure Island on Friday how do I claim the Junior Blues discount? Do I just show the membership card when buying tickets? Thanks.
