ANOTHER Canaries Worldwide Weekend has passed off  successfully.

The objective of the events surrounding the Plymouth Argyle matchday was to celebrate and congratulate the existence of all our long distance supporter groups and exiled fans who travel up and down the country and in some cases across the world to support the Canaries.

This is the third year that the weekend has taken place and involved a series of events organised by Norwich City's Long Distance Supporter Working Group and the Club.

The weekend kicked off with a quiz night at 'The Murderers' in the city centre last Friday evening with several exile supporter groups bringing teams to the event organised by Forces2Canaries - members of which are Canary fans, who are serving or have served in Her Majesty's Armed Forces.

On the Plymouth matchday itself many of the groups representatives joined in a parade around the pitch with their flags and banners.

A social event took place in the Norfolk Lounge post match when groups and individual fans got together for a drink, food and live music. They were also joined by City boss Bryan Gunn, his coaching team, some of the first team squad and Delia and Michael to chat and sign autographs.

On the Sunday morning a six-a-side competition took place to win the Canaries Worldwide Cup at the Academy Arena at Colney. Former players Jeremy Goss, Sandy Kennon, Phil Lythgoe, Dougy Evans, Peter Sylvester and Mark Barham managed the teams, with help from Colin Watts and Ricky Martin of the Club's Academy. The Yarmouth Yellows managed by Dougy Evans were the eventual winners with City Chairman Roger Munby coming along to present the winning medals and trophy.
