The Queens Supporters Youth Trust was born quietly in January 2006. From the Trust Stall under the East Stand every home match forms were given out to a posse of puzzled young Queens fans. All became clear when we launched a very basic, but a full colour 2 page newsletter through the post to all the young fans that had signed up.
Within 3 months we had produced three QYT newsletters going out to 140 young Queens fans from Dumfries to Thailand.
With competitions, Mini Match reports, articles on anything from i-pods to films plus Youth Trust news, it's a small but colourful start to what we hope will be a bright future for the QYT.
The success of the QYT magazine has led to the Supporters Trust being asked to produce the first Junior Blues magazine, Blue & White.
What's the difference between being a Junior Blue and a Youth Trust member?
First of all you don't need to be a Junior Blue Season ticket holder to join the Youth Trust. We know that some young Queens fans live in the Central Belt or, in some cases, the other side of the world, and can't make it to many games. Being a QYT keeps you in touch with what's going on and lets you play your part in being a Queens Supporter.
Being a QYT also gives you information about Supporters events and what the Queens Trust is doing. Soon we will be holding QYT events like Quiz evenings and Karting. If you're registered you'll receive invitations to these events through your mailbox.
How do I join?
Simply ask your Mum, Dad or Guardian for permission, and email it to us at contact@queenstrust.org or pick up a form at the Trust Stall under the East Stand on match days.
