The countdown is on until a special Dons Local Action Group celebration - and supporters are invited to join in the fun.
On Sunday at Old Ruts Rugby Club, volunteers from the charity that has made such a vital contribution to our local community, will be joined by Johnnie Jackson, first-team players, and rising stars from our academy. This offers an opportunity to meet Johnnie and our players in a relaxed environment a month or so before pre-season training starts.
All are invited to DLAG's Family Fun Day that offers free entry until 2pm.
Dons Local Action Group co-founder Xavier Wiggins said: "This event is the focal point of the summer for DLAG volunteers, the community, Dons fans and players - all meeting up in the heart of the community.
"There will be so much to do for all the family, including bungee jumping, a football skills workshop, and magic shows. If people want to make a full day of it they can stay on into the evening for the RutsFest music event with 16 bands performing, plus a barbecue, and bars open."
Please note that people attending the RutsFest event (after 2pm) will have to buy tickets (more details further down this page).
