Get on yer Bike ……. Kilmacud Fun Cycle on St Patricks D
Time to dust the cobwebs off that bike and re-live the fun of cycling! The Club is organising a fun cycle to be held on 17th March 2010. Two options for participants - a 35km cycle or a 100km cycle - the choice is yours. Participation is sought from parents, mentors and adult players on this fun event which is designed to assist in raising funds for the Club's Benevolent and Development funds (see bottom of page).
Participants are asked to raise individual sponsorship and all funds raised will be divided equally between the Benevolent and Development funds. Cyclists are asked to target a sponsorship level of €200 per head. Sponsorship cards will be supplied to all participants well in advance.
Cyclists of all abilities are invited to participate and the Peleton Leaders (Yellow Jersey wearers) on the day will be the individuals who raise the most money. You must be at least 18 years of age. Advice on training etc will be given to those who confirm their participation. This is not a race and all cyclists and their families are invited to the club at the end for a Gala Family Day including entertainment, food etc in the club. Both routes will be mapped out for participants, starting and finishing in the Club. On the day full ‘on the road‘ support and direction will be provided so nothing to fear!

Editor's Note: this production is brought to you be Kilmacuds latest and most vibrant new grouping of never-grow-old members. The pictures below provide some clues as to what they have been up during their inaugural year!! They certainly cant be accused of being grey and boring:-) A great initiative lads - well done, let's all support them on this one!!
Club Benevolent Fund : A fund in existence in the Club for many years which is used to support members of the club on those occasions when a degree of financial support is useful at a difficult moment in their lives. The fund is administered privately and confidentially by very senior and long-standing members of the Club. It is a fund provided by members for members who need support at difficult periods.
Club Development Fund : A fund which is in place to support the development of all the facilities in the club for the benefit of the club's members and teams. This fund is fully accounted for in Club accounts.
