Dorset Deaf Children's Society

What a fantastic afternoon our children had at the Vitality Stadium at AFC Bournemouth!

 

The children and parents were first of all taken on a tour of the stadium including the changing rooms, treatment room, press rooms and then a walk up the tunnel and on to the pitch. They then got and amazing surprise…… a chance to meet AFC Bournemouth player Nathan Ake. They were able to ask questions and take pictures and he signed individual photos for each of them all including one for Shirley!

 

Then the children had some coaching on the training pitches followed by a game. The children also bumped into Callum Wilson as he was entering the stadium and he very kindly signed autographs and had pictures taken with the children. All in all it was a very exciting day and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

 

Many thanks to Hannah Powis at AFC Bournemouth for organising the visit and thanks to Steve for the tour and the coaches for spending their time with the children. They made us all very welcome.
