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.

3rd August, Tuesday Night at the Joey Dunlop Center 
 
"EXTRA SPECIAL CLUB 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.

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!"

Congratulations Ballymoney Cycling Club
