2010 tours announced!

With the dates for the 2009 trips to Brussels and Helsinki having come a bit later than usual, there are no excuses for not having enough notice for our 2010 trips!


One breaks new ground, as although it is in another country, we will not be leaving the United Kingdom! Yes folks, the Dulwich Hamlet Supporters' Team will be heading north of the border to take on Queens Park Supporters', a team that has been in existence longer than us, having recently 'come of age' with their twenty first anniversary!


We've met them before, sort of, when Lawrence Marsh 'guested' for the Parisi Saint Germain Belgium Branch supporters' team in the Queens Park supporters' tournament back in June. Obviously our number one Belgian fan Nicolas Lucas was also there, as was his fiancee Danuta Wilmart; & from the Hamlet both Melanie Lucking & Mishi Morath.


It was a great trip, & the Queens Park people were really friendly & welcoming. So much so that Mishi was texting our Gaffer Mick, back down south, for permission to pass on his details!


As a result their main man Iain Campbell has arranged for us to play them on Saturday 6th March, and in the afternoon we will head to Queens Park, at Hampden Park, for another Scotland/England clash, when the Spiders take on Berwick Rangers! Could this be the first time ever that a bunch of Englishmen support the Scots against Berwick? ;-)


The summer trip will be on Saturday 3rd July, when our good friends from UR Namur will be hosting a Supporters' tournament, with teams from both Belgium & England. The final details are not in place yet, but it is being organised by our 'Belgian guest players' Stephane Tournay & Nicolas Lucas, and they will no doubr keep us informed as plans are cemented. for this one though, it will be important to book accomodation fairly early as there will be quite an invasion from our side of the Channel, as I'm let to believe that, as well as ourselves, Millwall; Oxford United & the Corporation of London could be receiving invites!
