I would like to inform you all of my resignation from my post as Junior Dees rep. This will take effect immediately. Colin McKenzie will carry on as the contact/supervisor of the ballboys and girls and Billy Shepherd will continue to supervise the mascot on a match day. For any other Junior Dees business, please contact Dundee Football Club.

I would like to thank you for your continued support in my past 7 years while being involved with the Junior Dees.

The Junior Dees will be visiting the following clubs throughout the forthcoming season:

11 September 2010 - Dunfermline Athletic

16th October 2010 - Stirling Albion

27th November 2010 - Raith Rovers

7th May 2011 - Queen of the South

The Strath Bar Dark Blues are the proud sponsors of the hi-viz vests worn by the Dundee F.C ballboys and girls for season 2010-2011.

Please contact

Craig Feret - 01382 889966 or 07812060168 or fezzyballesteros7@hotmail.co.uk

Susan Sturrock - 01382 826956 or 07944490441 or susansturrock@hotmail.co.uk

for any information regarding the Junior Dees for the forthcoming season.

The Junior Dees will once again be visiting Scottish Divison 1 clubs throughout the season 2010-2011. I am in the process of contacting all the clubs once again with the outlook to visit them at least once with a bus full of Junior Dees. Any information will be posted on here or in the matchday programmes.

Many thanks to all of you who have shown an interest in signing up to be a ballboy/girl for the forthcoming season. I have received a large amount of forms which I have now sorted and replied to. The successful applicants have all been contacted and relevant letters have been sent to everyone else.

The unsuccessful applicants will all have the opportunity to come to Dens for the day and attend as a matchday guest ballboy/girl at some point throughout the season.

The JUNIOR DEES are recruiting for ballboys/ballgirls for next season. Children must be between 9 and 16 years of age and be members of the JUNIOR DEES. Children must be able to attend every home game at Dens park throughout the new season. Each child chosen, will be issued with a tracksuit, a bench coat and warm hat and gloves to use for each game. A complimentary matchday programme and refreshments at half time are also given to each child. If you'd like to apply, then complete an application form which is available from the Dee4Life table in the Bobby Cox concourse on a match day, or from the club shop during opening hours.

DEEWOK put in a surprise appearance at Jessie Porter Nursery School in Dundee today. The children were each sponsored to walk a mile in aid of Sport Relief. DEEWOK joined the children walking their mile along with parent helpers and staff.

I was unwell over the weekend and couldn't make it to the match on Saturday or the party yesterday. Many many thanks to everyone who helped out yesterday...Zoe and Rachel Sturrock, Billy Shepherd, Craig and Chris (DFC in the Community) Jordan (Santa and Scrooge), Paul (DEEWOK), Cammy and the two other young lads (apologies for not knowing your name!).
Judging by the feedback I've been given the day was a huge success.


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

The Fife Dark Blues also kindly donated £100 towards Junior Dee funds. This money will be used towards buying goody bags and party food for the forthcoming Christmas Party.

Alan Inglis and Bob Gordon from the Dundee Social Club also donated selection boxes for the party.

The Junior Dees have been extremely lucky last weekend receiving various donations from different groups.

Joan Storrie from the Strath Bar Dark Blues kindly donated 40 selection boxes for the childrens Christmas Party this Sunday.

Arthur Small from the Strath Bar Tartan Army very kindly donated £50 towards Junior Dee funds.
