Hi all Junior Cherries,

With the new season just around the corner, why not treat every home game as a passport to winning prizes!

Make sure you come to this Saturday's home game against Gillingham (9th August) to collect your new 2008/2009 Junior Cherries Loyalty Passport. You can find us at the Junior Cherries Information Point, outside the Cherry tree from 1.30pm (before the Gillingham game), where you can pick up your passport and also receive your first passport stamp for the first home game of the season.

The more games you come to, the more prizes you receive! Here's how it works:

1) Get your stamp at each home game from the Junior Cherries Zone (next to the club shop)

2) Receive 5 stamps = Automatic entry into the draw for a half time penalty shoot out with Cherry Bear

3) Receive 10 stamps = Free Game Stadium membership

4) Receive 15 stamps = Free stadium tour *Subject to availability

5) Receive 20 stamps = Free AFC Bournemouth Community Trust soccer school place

6) Receive 21 stamps = Enter draw for signed shirt

7) Receive 22 stamps = Enter draw to be 12th man (2009/2010 season)

8) Receive 23 stamps = Enter draw for free 2009/2010 season ticket

Anybody who receives over 21 stamps will also be presented with a certificate on the pitch at the first game of next season (2009/2010 season).

In addition, our freind Ollie the Dinosaur will be conducting his own loyalty scheme at Ollie's Playground in Poole for Junior Cherries under 11. Every time you visit Ollies you will receive a special AFC Bournemouth Ollie's sticker to put in your passport, once you have collected four stickers Ollie will let you have your fifth visit for free! There are also top prizes available from Ollies for being a loyal Cherry, as well as from Game Stadium for all Junior Cherries over 11.

We're all excited about the new season, so don't forget to be part of the action, cheer the team on and get your passport stamped to win a host of top prizes.

Cherry Bear
