Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to our Junior Blues and their families. It’s been a good season so far both on and off the pitch. As we opened our presents on Christmas Day, Queens were in 3rd place just behind Ross County and pre-season big money spenders Dundee.

This season we have nearly 700 Junior Blue Club members, which is our second highest total ever. We’d like to thank you all for supporting Queen of the South this season and we hope 2010 will see the continued rise of the Club, both on and off the pitch.

Board members and some new Supporters Trust volunteers gathered at Rugby Park this weekend for a Board Member Development course, run by James Proctor and Elaine Millar of Supporters Direct Scotland. Trust members from Queen of the South, Kilmarnock and Hamilton Accies attended the session.....................................

This is our 4th season promoting the Queen of the South Junior Blues and each season it becomes more and more enjoyable to see more JB’s and their families coming along to Palmerston.

This years Queens in the Community Summer Soccer Camps have been well praised by the kids taking part, many of them Junior Blues members........

Carlsberg don’t do football supporters, but if they did they wouldn’t be doing themselves a disservice by choosing those that follow Queen of the South Football Club. Colourful, noisy, friendly and funny are just a few of the adjectives which could be harnessed to describe our Fans in Farum as Queens went out of Europe with heads held high...............................

Supporters Trust Increases Share Investment

The Queen of the South Supporters Trust has increased it’s share in the club to just over 400 shares.



Over the past 2 years Supporters have helped fund various activities, including donations to help during transfer windows, player sponsorship, Shirt draw sponsorship, the U-15’s NI Milk Cup team two years running, ball boys training kit and even a new pair of shoes for our club mascot, Dougie the Doonhamer. The most recent investment, was £1500 in the form of a £750 sponsorship of the Club’s training kit, plus a further £750 investment via share purchase, some of which will go towards the training kit cost and the rest towards the community work carried out by Jim Thomson.

Last Saturday saw supporters follow up a kind offer from local businessman John Dowson to try out a Queen of the South Stall on Dumfries High Street.

JT came along for a look on what was a busy day for all the volunteers involved and thanks to Eric Fisher of the Queens Mad Board website, Mark Jardine and Ewan McNaught we have sponsorship to allow us to continue the stall for the rest of the season. A great gesture by all three gentlemen.

We've run several competitions over the last year or so,

either via Blue & White or via free raffles at various events.

 Last months Blue & White offered 16 Junior Blues

the chance to train with the first team squad.

 It turned out to be by far the most popular

competition we've run so far with double

the number of normal entries.

The Supporters Trust have been working on the Junior Blues Summer Programme to promote the Junior Blues Club and the 'Pound A Game' season ticket. From Calside and Georgetown School Fayres to the Guid Nychburris 5-a-sides the Summer programme has got off to a busier start than last year. With a lot of help from the DoonhamersTravel Club around 1000 Junior Blues Club's forms were distributed at this years Guid Nychburris 'Big Parade'.

The first Annual General Meeting of the Queen of the South Supporters Trust took place on Tuesday night, January 23^rd at Palmerston Park.
