You may have seen our real-life Charlie Bears getting up to lots of fun at the Royal Cornwall Show on our socials last month, and we thought we’d share some more content with our Best Friends. We were bear-y excited to see everyone over the three days.
Our Charlie Bear skipped off in the sunshine and into the huge crowds, gave out high-fives and hugs and let everyone know where they could find our stand at the show . During this ‘hello’ tour, Charlie Bear heard fun and laughter, and went to explore There was a colourful display of games, rides, and even a Ferris Wheel Charlie Bear spied some horses and tried to outrun them on the merry-goround, but gave up and hopped on one for a ride! After some bear-illiant fun at the fair, Charlie Bear was back to work on our stand, and at one point he even had another Charlie Bears friend with him .
It wasn’t long before Charlie Bear had to train for his big race, and we are proud to announce that he came third . Well done Charlie Bear!
While Charlie Bear and friends were outside working, the bear cubs were working bear-y hard answering customer questions and helping them find the paw-fect Charlie Bears character to take home . Did one of our Charlie Bears choose you at the show? Send us your photos to chronicle@charliebears.com

Ever since we launched our pin badges back in 2017, we started getting requests for something to store and display them in It took us a little while, but earlier this year we launched the Charlie Bears Keepsake Box which is the paw-fect place for your pins!
We recently featured these keepsake boxes, which are designed to look like a vintage suitcase, on a Cuddle Time TV show Charlie and Will went through them in detail with lots of ways you can use them!

CALLING ALL TEDDY DETECTIVES!
In the last issue we gave you clues to three new Secret Collection characters that will be featured on the QVC UK shows in July…here are the answers to the puzzles, did you work them out?
Puzzle 1: The Answer
Our bears were practising their semifore and when you put them in the right order, it spells out SOPHIA PANDA
Puzzle 2: The Answer Puzzle 3: The Answer
Each line of morse code gave you a letter, and you could re-order them to spell out ROBERTO
dot, dash, dot = R
dash, dash, dash = O dash, dot, dot, dot = B dot = E dot, dash, dot = R
dash = T
dash, dash, dash = O
Did you manage to work out this riddle… It’s the wise and grand OLD FATHER TIME
“With a long white beard and a cloak so grand
He holds the key to moments slipping through your hand
Counting seconds, months and years as planned
Who is the guardian of time, so wise and grand?”

Miss Peacock
joins our Cluedo clan of bear-illiant characters!
Some of our Best Friends may have already met Miss Peacock on a recent TVSN show and online at QVC USA, but for many of you, this is your first chance to meet our latest Cluedo-inspired character
In the original game Miss Peacock was in fact a Mrs…but we thought our little bear looked more like a ‘Miss’ and so we named her as such!
Miss Peacock has just been released on our Charlie Bears Direct website in the UK www.charliebears.co.uk
For our Australian and American Best Friends, if you haven’t already paw-chased Miss Peacock, you’ll need to seek her out on the secondary market .
Our other two Cluedoinspired characters are our bear-illiantly white Mrs White (shown here and also featured on the cover of this issue) and the paw-some Professor Plum. Mrs White will be on QVC this month and Professor Plum was released in February 2023 as part of our Charlie Bears Exclusives Collection. He’s sold out worldwide, but hopefully you can find him on the secondary market. You’ll have to wait and see whether we’ll be releasing more Cluedo characters next year…
CONSERVATORY
Who’s a Couch Potato?
Maybe our Couch Potato could join you at home and you can be couch potatoes together!
