Grand Slam

Charlton's Summer Slam programme moves into top gear this weekend when the club's community team will be out in force at Bexley Council's Danson Festival.

As well as the big event on the Bexleyheath and Welling border, the Addicks will also be well represented at the latest Great Greenwich Get Together, which takes place on Blackheath on Sunday.

The club has once again assembled a full programme of summer activities stretching from Greenwich in the west to Ramsgate on the East Kent coast.

During the school holiday period there will be a whole series of standalone events taking place in Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley boroughs, as well as in many Kent districts.

The club will also feature prominently at the Kent County Show at Detling, (July 11th/12th/13th), the Thamesmead Festival (July 12th), the Dartford Festival (July 19th/20th), the Tonbridge Junior Football Fiesta (July 19th) and the Olympic handover event at the O2 in Greenwich on August 24th.

As usual, everything provided by the club will be free of charge, and youngsters will be able to enjoy five-a-side football and inflatables.

There will also be exciting competitions with prizes to win, as well as the popular goodie bags, while it is planned to have a travelling Superstore at some of the largest events.

The programme of activities is delivered on behalf of the football club by the Charlton Athletic Community Trust, and is the culmination of many months of internal planning.

Rick Everitt, head of club development for the Addicks, said: "We are delighted to be taking Charlton out into the community in this way once again.

"We know how popular these events are, but they also serve a serious purpose in raising the Charlton flag and helping us promote ticket sales as well as the community work we do all year round."

Aside from the major events listed above, the community team's summer fixture list looks like this:
