Nine-year-old Junior Bear James Barwell has been selected by the Bears players as the winning Christmas Card design for 2021.

The Club received a great response to the annual Junior Bears Christmas Card design competition and James’ design was selected as the winner by the Warwickshire players.

James is in Year 4 at The Blue Coat School in Edgbaston. He is a massive cricket fan and hopes to follow in his favourite player Jacob Bethell’s footsteps and become a professional cricketer both bowling and batting.

The winning design is now available from Store ’94, in time for Christmas. As part of the prize, James has won a T20 shirt signed by the current Bears men’s team squad plus a Bears goody bag.

Junior Bears Membership, for under 16s, is available for the 2022 season for only £25 and includes invited to exclusive events throughout the year including the Junior Bears Christmas Party which is taking place on Monday 13 December.

Junior Bears Membership can be purchased online at edgbaston.com.
