Community Corner Content

Send in your photos, stories and comments for future issues of The Charlie Bears Chronicle.

This newspaper is for you, and we want to include oodles of content about our bear-illiant Best Friends in every issue. Have you got a story about your collecting to tell us? A paw-some photo of your Charlie Bears on display? Does your beloved pet look just like one of our bears or characters? We’d love to share these with all our Best Friends in our Community Corner section of the Chronicle. Get in touch today and you might be in our next issue.

Feeling festive on QVC USA Christmas came early in the USA when Charlie Bears returned to the QVC TV channel on Monday 15th July. Featuring some of our festive bears for their ‘Christmas in July’ special, the QVC host was joined by our Bear Cub Densie from The Cubhouse USA, and William also joined the show via live link all the way from Cornwall in the UK! Comfort Cuddles and Cozy were two of the festive stars of the show along with our paw-some pairing of Silent Night and Jingle Belle, plus many more including our festive Frosty the Snowman.

It’s great to see your posts in the Secret Cupboard Facebook Group but don’t forget to send in your images, stories and ‘real-life’ Charlie Bears to chronicle@charliebears.com

Tia the cat just loves to jump into the Charlie Bears boxes after each delivery at Ana-Maria’s house!

Always There, Pawprints and Fang are watching in bemusement…

Kerry posted this paw-some photo of her beautiful cat Megan, as she posed next to her Charlie Bears kitten MiLady. It’s like looking at two peas in a pod!

Joseline’s display of our Alice in Wonderland inspired pieces are looking paw-some Will she be collecting the rest of the characters in this series we wonder?

Old Father Time and Heartwood make a bear-illiant display for our lovely Best Friend Jacqueline. We think these two standing Charlie Bears just look paw-geous together!

Look how adorable our Best Friends Collection character Jimminy is as he watches over Sophie’s sleeping baby daughter, Eliza.

OPEN DAY AT THE CUBHOUSE AUSTRALIA It was the first of our three Open Days on Sunday 21st July at The Cubhouse Australia. Our Bear Cubs Kerri and Maddy were there to greet all the collectors that came along - it was such a fun day! Our Bear Cub Kerri is pictured here with Kerry who has been collecting since 2009, and now has 420 Charlie Bears in her hug!

Hrisanthy couldn’t resist a cuddle with Maze; Sue just had to have the bearilliant Cassidy; it looks like Trample chose Macy; Joyce was delighted that Puzzlemaster was joining her hug; and Leonie and Jo had Kevin, Inkling and Tidy all jumping into their arms!

Thank you to everyone that came along, and don’t forget we’ve got two more open days coming up at The Cubhouse in Kyneton, Australia, so if you couldn’t make it to our July one, paws crossed you can come on Saturday 24th August or Saturday 21st September.

Contact our Australian Bear Cubs on 03 5427 4482 or email them at cubhouse@charliebears.com if you have questions about these open days.

On reflection you may need a wall to help you, I am certain this will give you the best chance!

Remember, all the clues to these 3 words can be found below, But beware you may need to juggle them around before you’re ready to go!

Sharing classic tales and stories Their chuckling could be heard well into the night.”
