A Happy New Year to all Young Pars and Sammy’s Gang members and their families! Most of you will still be enjoying your Christmas holidays – another whole week before you go back to school. How good is that?!

Did you all have a good Christmas?Â
Hope Santa was good to you and you enjoyed a fun day.Â
Sammy the Tammy had a great time, we’re told, with plenty of turkey and
pudding. We all know how much he
likes his food. Let’s hope he
still fits into his football strip after all the eating he has done over
Christmas!

Events
so far

Since we are into a new year we
thought it would be good to look back on what we have been doing at the Young
Pars since the beginning of the season – and we have been doing quite a bit.Â
We have loads of photos on our website taken at many of our events so why
not take a look!

Penalty
kick competition

Some of our older members took part in
the semi finals and final of the penalty kick competition at the beginning of
the season. This took place on the
pitch at half time during home games. Â The
winner of the trophy this year was Cameron Shaw.

Trip
to
Kilmarnock

In September we organised a bus to
take Young Pars to the away game at
Kilmarnock
. Entry into the game was free for
all our members and everyone enjoyed their day out despite the result.

Football
coaching

During the October holidays Young Pars
were invited along to Pitreavie to take part in a training session.Â
Hamish French put them through their paces.Â
Unfortunately the weather meant the players weren’t there on this
occasion for autographs and a chat but those who came along enjoyed the training
anyway and we hope to run another of these sessions during the Easter holidays.

Christmas
bowling

Last month about forty Young Pars
enjoyed a couple of games at Bowlplex in the

This year Mick Magic provided the tricks and entertainment, along with
Sammy himself of course, and everyone had lots of fun!
