Passing and funeral of Andy Young
It is with deep sadness I have to inform you of the passing of Andy Young. Taken far too soon Andy passed away peacefully this morning in Marie Curie Hospice with his wife Lee-Anne by his side. Andy was a great friend and a long time club member before he moved on to ride with the Bikehouse. We enjoyed many a gallop for the 30s and I even let him win the odd one. Heartbreaking news.
He will be remembered by all who had the pleasure to ride with him for his wicked sense of humour which he retained to the end. The big lad will be greatly missed.
Deepest sympathy for Lee-Anne and his young son Leo and all the immediate family who have supported him through his illness.
The family home is strictly private to family only.
Andy’s funeral will be on Wednesday 1st February at 12.00 at St Columbanus’ (Ballyholme Parish Church) with committal at Clandeboye Cemetery then onto the Clandeboye Lodge Hotel.

NDCC Mince Pie Run 2022
Mince Pie Run tomorrow folks at Marquis Hall. There’s some rain about so get a short ride in and meet back at the Marquis Hall.
Anyone deciding not to ride, still come on down for Refreshments, sweets and treats and of course a Mince Pie. Everyone welcome from 9:30 until around 12:00pm.
The Hall is still open regardless of the weather.
Hot Port Ride 2022
We are pleased to announce that the Hot Port Run will take place on Saturday 10th Dec with a new venue of the Quays in Portavogie at 11am. We have a back up date for the 17th Dec provisionally booked in case of inappropriate weather.
There will be Soup/Roll accompanied with Tea/Coffee paid for by the Club.
Club runs will need to be aware of the serving time and might consider a later starting time or maybe change from the traditional routes and take in the other side of the peninsula first, or indeed have a race to the ferry.
Christmas attire for those who aren`t bah humbugs!!!
Potential new members are welcome
