This years Summer Soccer Camps were a great success as in previous years. Feedback from the many kids attending was very good suggesting that they had lots of constructive fun. The Queens Trust donated money to Queens for the soccer camps in which t-shirts and Queen of the South water bottles were bought and given to each child attending the camps.

The Queens Trust was very happy to contribute towards the cost of Lochar Thistle Youths A.F.C `s end of season trip to the Reebok stadium, home of Bolton Wanderers FC.

Lochar Thistle Youths A.F.C supply the ball boys and girls at Palmerston through the community partnership between the two clubs.

The trip consisted of a tour of the Reebok Stadium, an hour long training session with Boltons community coaches, then into the North Stand upper tier for a great view with an excellent friendly atmosphere to watch Bolton play Birmingham.

All the kids and adults had a very enjoyable day.

This year The Queens Trust / Junior Blues sponsored the Queen of the South Cup, The final was played at Palmerston Park on Wednesday 28th April between Lochar Thistle and Lochmaben.

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.....................................

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...............................

Although things did not go according to plan on the the pitch, off the field our 3rd Home Junior Blues Free Raffle proved to be popular.............. Read more

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.
