If you don't get enough people for the Gwent date I have a 4 year old who would live to go!

I have signed up for this for DS1, who is 6 & football mad I also have 2 smaller DSes (4 & will be 17 months), who are not yet interested in football but I think would enjoy the experience. Are they allowed to tag along if we get picked? If not, I will stay with them & DH with DS1, but would be great if we could all go

My son is 8 years old and is football mad. He plays for a local club and would love this opportunity.
We are Surrey based.

[BikeRunSki]

[confusedofengland]

I've had an email saying that DS1 has been selected for one of the England dates & he is so excited! Thanks MN & McDonald's (is it wrong that I'm hoping there will be McDonald's coffee there? )

Recruitment for the ENGLAND EVENTS is now closed. All other events are STILL OPEN for recruitment so sign up for these!

For those who would still be interested in attending the England McDonald's Community Football Days you are encouraged to join with the rest of the local community. Described as being a small open door festival with football action, celebrity football ambassadors and inflatable games they would like as many people to attend as possible!
