Plans have already been announced for the Aces FREE Xmas party on the Sunday, and hopefully you have all been registering your kids with Willie and Mairi.

As for Saturday, we have something special planned for before the Dunfermline Game. Lifelong fan Stephen Eaton has finally (and happily) bowed to peer pressure, and produced a compilation dvd of old Airdrie games converted from VHS. We will be showing 'The Road to Hampden - 92' - a 90 minute dvd - before the Dunfermline game next Saturday at 12.45 in the Rowan Suite. I have had a sneek peek, and it is brilliant quality bringing back lots of memories. If this is a succees, Stephen has enough footage for approximately 4-5 dvd's, so we would hope to repeat the event at future games.

While all this is going on, we will again have the various events going on for the Aces. Training outside with Peter and Gordon Thomson, Scott Black, and their merry band of helpers; while inside, we will have arts and crafts, face painting and dvd's led by Lorna Logan and her happy cohorts.

Usually, all these activities are free. However, next week we have a twist which we hope will be well supported by you all.

We have partnered up with Airdrie Foodbank and the Airdrie and Coatbridge Advertiser's Toy Appeal - two great local charities/campaigns that we want to help as much as possible and continue to cement our position in the town as a Community Club.

We would ask everyone attending on Saturday and Sunday to bring donations to support these great causes. We are aware that there are probably those amongst our support who actually rely on these charities, so there won't be a big finger of guilt pointed if you can't give, but whether it's a 20p tin of beans, or a toy out the pound shop, it would be greatly appreciated and go a long way to making some people's Christmas that little bit happier.

We will have collection points in both bars, and hopefully at the turnstiles for those who can't make the pre match event.

This - along with the Save the Children Campaign - rounds off a great year for us all. Please come along to all the events and bring what you can.

Support the Team. Support the Trust. Support the Town.

An announcement on next weekend's festivities !

Given I have a season ticket I will be there. Went to Brechin after missing the last few games. There were good spells of play from both teams(and some howlers) as Brechin had improved from the last one;they had two good loan players from Aberdeen/Rangers and our loanees also played well apart from a calamitous header back by Gasparotto to give them an ill deserved lead. McNeil made some tremendous saves and I dont blame him at the goal.Finally we got a goal through a very good cross from Paddy boyle for Lister to head it over the line with a wee bit of help from a goalies fumble? Given results elsewhere it was a good point but our lack of a cutting edge was still visible. It is a strange league when you look at the games lost by everyone apart from Stranraer so I remain optimistic.

I may be wrong but I believe this is the fourth event of its kind this season and we're not even half way through. With this and the Aces party on Sunday, I have to hand it to the Trust. Just a pity the club don't match the enthusiasm.

Guys
All I would say is support the event if you can. All the trust's events are about trying to establish/cement a long term support in the town and try to widen the fanbase amongst the community. As a support we have to be united....Section B/Cue Here/West End/Swally/Trust/Scarefers/Families etc etc...and prepare ourselves for whatever is around the corner. Whether you think it's corny or cheesy, just bring some tins or toys next week. Won't cost you a fortune or make you look like a knob.
Plus the dvd is dynamite. Really good.
