Their clubhouse, Seaforth Pavilion, is in ‘desperate need of some tender loving care’, but progress is being made in fundraising efforts.
A statement from the club said: “We have been lucky enough to be awarded a grant of £2000 from the Community Safety Fund dependent on also securing match funding.”
And more money has come via the Beat the Street initiative, with AYCC saying: “What an inspiring community activity this turned out to be and what a cracking response from the AYCC posse.”
Members’ efforts generated £500, which will also go towards the pavilion refurbishment.
Coach Scott Irving says match-funding is needed for the £2000 grant, and said: “That would hopefully give us the money we need to the works estimated at about £4500 at the pavilion. That’s really just to stop it from deteriorating any further.”
AYCC have joined with three other local clubs to offer a south west winter race series, with the first event a cyclo-cross at the Everholm in Annan on November 7.
Pavilion facelift planned by cycle club
A GRANT for £2000 and winnings from the ‘Beat the Street’ challenge is to help Annan Youth Cycling Club (AYCC) improve its facilities.
