It was simply THE place to be for young Wimbledon supporters to celebrate Christmas – and that was summed up by a record attendance figure!
A total of 157 Dons – all aged Under-12 – joined Haydon the Womble at the Cherry Red Records Stadium for a real festive occasion – the Junior Dons Christmas Party.
AFC Wimbledon men’s and women’s players signed autographs, helped out with face painting, and joined in with plenty of fun activities – including being wrapped in tinsel by the more enthusiastic young Dons!
Thanks to the hard work of volunteers and club staff, it summed up what the festivities are all about – Santa’s Little Helpers preparing one or two special gifts before the arrival of Father Christmas.
Mandy Bynon said: “It was a great team effort from volunteers, staff, and first-team players to put on such a well-attended event – only the second time that we’ve hosted the Junior Dons Christmas Party at our stadium since moving back home.
“Previously, the most we had at one of these events was 75, so to get 157 along on Sunday was fantastic – roll on next year!
