As we enter 2026, we are pleased to announce our continued partnership with long time
club sponsor Reid Black Solicitors, we are also delighted to welcome on board our new
Club Sponsor, That Prize Guy.

The renewed sponsorship is something that North Down Cycling are very proud of, as we
believe it is now entering the thirteenth year of our relationship with this highly successful
business. The support and relationship throughout the years has been pivotal to the
development of the club members in the many disciplines that we engage in. The further
three years will of course have the company logo displayed prominently throughout our
many social outlets, but most importantly on the Club kit.

The introduction of a new Club Sponsor was a massive opportunity to raise visibility for the
club. That Prize Guy was more than happy to support the club in our endeavours to increase
cycling participation across the locality, with the desire to show the pink and black
throughout the country in many events and competitions.

Damian Grimley, Chairperson of North Down Cycling, has welcomed the continued backing
from Reid Black and the introduction of That Prize Guy, as we move into 2026. The mental
wellbeing of our members through cycling participation and performance on the bike, is of
the utmost importance, and with their partnerships, this will be crucial in developing talent.
2026 also sees the club renewing their contract with current club kit supplier, Pactimo. With
the introduction of the new Club Sponsor, the committee also have the pleasure in
announcing a new kit design to fully incorporate and display our sponsors. The kit will be
introduced in the coming weeks, so keep an eye for teasers on the new designs.
