			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Supporters Club Bar will be open as usual this Saturday before Wigan Athletic take on Everton.<span id="more-1142"></span></p>
<p>It is a big game and to get you in the mood why not come down to the Supporters Club Bar before the game and take in the early kick off, have a coffee, beer or soft drink or two, take in some of the culinary delights (food), have a chat with other Latics supporters and you may also be in with a chance of winning hospitality for the visit of Swansea City.</p>
<p>The Bar does tend to fill up quite quickly and because of fire regulations we are limited to the amount of people we can let in, so get there in decent time to avoid not getting in.</p>
<p>We will also be taking bookings for those who wish to travel with us to Bolton and Norwich. There are still places available for the Norwich weekender and <a title="The Annual Dinner 2012 – A change of plan" href="http://www.wastc.co.uk/2012/01/the-annual-dinner-2012-a-change-of-plan/">tickets are also on sale for the Annual Dinner</a> which will see the team of 1982 welcomed on the 30<sup>th</sup> Anniversary of our first ever League promotion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fans need to take a look at this fantastic offer from the club and ensure that the DW is packed to the rafters for a game that could shape our run in and future.<span id="more-1132"></span></p>
<p>Team Latics are offering a fantastic deal exclusively for junior season ticket holders to bring a friend for FREE to the Everton game and you will also receive 10% discount in the club shop, plus the chance to win a money-can’t-buy prize!</p>
<p>We need as many Latics fans as possible to cheer us on in this massive game. Ali Al Habsi, Latics keeper says, “I love hearing all you guys in the stands shouting for the team. You do a great job! So bring a friend to the Everton match and make even more noise for the team!”</p>
<p>If you have a junior season ticket you can apply today to receive a junior ticket for your friend completely FREE of charge, plus up to 2 additional adults at £28 each. You will also receive a special discount voucher for 10% off anything in the club shop, including sale items from the day of the game on 4 February until the following Saturday 11 February! All this, plus you will be entered into a draw to win a fantastic Match Day Mascot Experience for the last game of the season against Wolverhampton Wanderers. As the winner of this draw you will not only get the chance to lead the Latics team out of the tunnel at the DW Stadium on 13 May, but you will also enjoy a delicious meal in Rigaletto’s and executive seating for the match for you and 2 accompanying adults.</p>
<p>This great offer is now extended and is exclusive to junior season ticket holders! All you need to do is ask a parent/guardian to call us now at the stadium ticket office on 0871 6633552* or come down to the ticket office with your friend’s name, age and address.</p>
<p><em>To apply for the free junior ticket and up to 2 paying adults, we need the name and address of the people coming and this information will be given and retained by the ticket office.</em></p>
<p><em>*Calls to the 0871 number are charged at 10p/min from a BT landline. Mobiles and other networks may vary.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Let’s get behind the lads and get a much needed 3 points.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>EA Sports are profiling for new game software and the want to make sure they have all the information needed for Wigan Athletic. Are you the one to lead them in the right direction??</p>
<p>The researchers at EA Sports are scouring the UK for all the football teams and have a great response from sites like this in getting the people they need to provide accurate information about the clubs they support.</p>
<p>It is usually me that ends up doing this sort of thing, but as I am extremely busy at the moment it would be good if someone or some people could take the reins on this one. For more information on what they need, the EA Sports website zone for this is <a href="http://www.eafootballtalentscout.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There have been many issues with the original date of the Wigan Athletic Supporters Club Annual Dinner, with the date and some other issues providing a problem. Following is the amended details and how you can book your place.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Annual Dinner will now be on April 27<sup>th</sup> 2012 and will still be centred on the fabulous promotion winning season of 30 years ago &#8211; Larry Lloyd and his players will be the special guests on the night.</p>
<p>It won’t be a sit down meal as we have listened to Supporters Club members and made it a hot and cold buffet, with great entertainment from local bands, the usual charity raffle and auction to raise money.</p>
<p>This will be a superb opportunity for Latics fans old and new to get down to the DW Stadium and experience some great banter, a questions and answer session with players like Roy Tunks, Mick Quinn, Eamonn O&#8217;Keefe, Kevin Langley, Colin Methven, Alex Cribley, Les Bradd, Graham Barrow, John Butler and more&#8230;..</p>
<p>The cost is just £10 per person and brilliant night is in store.</p>
<p>Tickets can be booked from the Supporters Club Bar behind the South Stand on match days or by Paypal below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Emma Hoolin is a five year old Wigan girl who is suffering from the childhood cancer, neuroblastoma. Emma has completed her treatment of chemotherapy and radiotherapy at Manchester Royal Childrens Hospital, she is now undergoing six months treatment of Immunotherapy in the United States, this is to give Emma the best chance of long term survival.<span id="more-1119"></span><br />
The Immunotherapy is not available on the NHS, it is also quite expensive, the Emma Hoolin Appeal was set up to raise £211,000, this is the cost of the initial treatment.<br />
Unfortunately, due to set backs and Emma requiring extra care whilst in the US the cost has now risen. So far the appeal has made £310,000, but it is estimated that the total cost of Emma&#8217;s treatment could be in excess of £350,000.<br />
On Saturday February 11th 2012, Wigan Athletic travel the short distance to Horwich to face Premier League rivals and near neighbours Bolton Wanderers. On the morning of the 11th Feb, prior to the game, there will be a large number of people walking the six miles from the DW Stadium in Wigan to the Reebok Stadium in Horwich, to raise awareness of neuroblastoma and raise funds for the Emma Hoolin Appeal.<br />
This is the walk4emma.<br />
This event will be big, brash and fun, it will certainly raise awareness, hopefully helping Emma to achieve her monetary target, I want <strong>you</strong> to join me on the walk. Please register to participate in the walk4emma, to do this simply email your details to <a href="mailto:walk4emma@hotmail.co.uk"><span style="color: #0062da;">walk4emma@hotmail.co.uk </span></a>by return you will receive sponsor form, poster and details of the walk<br />
There is a justgiving page set up for our proceeds to be paid into: <a title="Vital" href="https://www.justgiving.com/walk4emma/new" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.justgiving.com/walk4emma/new</strong></a>, this links directly into the Emma Hoolin Appeal and keeps a track of how much money the walk4emma will make.<br />
Please, please, please support this event and join us on the walk, whether you are a Latics fan, a Bolton fan or just willing to participate and raise some much needed funds and awareness for this worthy cause.<br />
Register at <a href="mailto:walk4emma@hotmail.co.uk"><span style="color: #0062da;">walk4emma@hotmail.co.uk </span></a><br />
We will be meeting from 10 am on the morning of the 11th February at the front of the DW Stadium and then setting off at 10:30am prompt. Stop off point at New Springs Ex-Servicemen&#8217;s Club, Cale Lane, for refreshments and hopefully arriving at the Reebok for approximately 1:30pm.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the Lounge before the Liverpool game we made lots of members very happy by providing them with free pie and peas to get them in the mood for the game. Two more members left even happier as they were winners of hospitality packages for future games.<span id="more-1101"></span></p>
<p>Firstly, Major Ben Watson (no relation I don’t think) had his winning raffle ticket pulled out of the hat for the hospitality package for the home game against Everton. The raffle raised £300 for operation Christmas which helps to make some lives a little better over the Christmas period, the charity is supporterted by the Salvation Army, Help the Ages and the Samaritans. Thanks for all that contributed.</p>
<p>Paul Benbow had his membership number drawn on the night to win the hospitality package for this week’s game against Sunderland.</p>
<p>Well done to both of you, we hope you have a great time upstairs for those games. We also hope everybody managed to get themselves their free food.</p>
