are Promoting a FUNDRAISING event with the
"The James Elliott
- Bridges of Hope Community
Cycle"
James Elliott, 14, was swept away after he jumped into the River Bush in Stranocum to
rescue a pet dog. James was a pupil at Dalriada Grammar School, Ballymoney, and a talented footballer with
Linfield's youth team. Dozens of friends and relatives took part in the massive search operation after
James was swept away. The search included the Coastguard, Bann River Rescue, RAF, Royal Navy, Fire and
Rescue Service, police search teams and the police helicopter.
James's family requested that, instead of flowers, donations were made to the Community Search
and Rescue Team.

MEETING...!!!"
All members are encouraged to
ATTEND...!
at 7.30pm
Guest Speakers
invited, and an OPPORTUNITY for all of us
to make a
REAL difference and a noticable
contribution..!!
More details to follow...!
We all with the best intentions, travel far and wide, we plan for weeks for events
10's of miles away, our intentions are admirable as we dig deep to support so many worthy causes.
Yet sometimes we do not realise that there are people even neighbours, struggling to provide worthwhile
services 24-7 and they seem to sail under our radar.
At Ballymoney Cycling Club our members are local and we want to make a difference to those who without concern
for themselves make our families safety their "PRIORITY"
I am going to make sure they have the equipment they require, yet I hope they never need it.
I ask your help......
P.S.... Keep Tuesday 3rd August 7.30pm 2010 FREE!!

Now in its 4th year, the North Pole Cycling
Club once again invites cyclists to undertake the Tour of Inishowen 150k, one of Ireland's toughest cycling
challenges.
Over 200 cyclists are expected to start the event and
hopefully the majority of these riders will complete the full course which is just short of 100 miles. This
event will bring in all the towns and villages in the Inishowen Peninsula.
Ballymoney Cycling Club will be
providing a Mini Bus, collecting at Ballymoney Rugby Club @ 7.30am and the Jet Centre @ 8am.
A SUPPORT
CAR for the 12 riders taking part is also available.
This is not a RACE..! It is an
opportunity for BCC riders
to do what we do best...

New Kit 2010 launch with Stephen and Judith Gallagher
"The jersey in front of you is probably a Ballymoney CC
jersey..!"
What a difference six months makes!!!
When we look back to November 2009, and we met in the same conference room, Nat, Bobby, Jason and
a couple of others sat there and planned to relaunch Ballymoney Cycling Club!!!
6 months later
and it was IMPOSSIBLE to find a seat... as the same room was jam packed with enthuasiastic BCC members and
specially invited guests. There to share the evening with NEW Ballymoney CC Honorary members Stephen and Judith
Gallagher.
Stephen and Judith presented the NEW club kit and gave a 2 hour talk
about serious cycling, full of information, tips and tactics.
As club PRO I want to THANK
EVERYONE for coming along and showing their support. Let us as a club strive to build on what
Stephen said about TEAM SUPPORT and TEAM SPIRIT...
"Together we are strong and will get
stronger!"
