ClubSport Stirling awarded Stirling Bike Club with £600 towards the cost of an inflatable event gantry branded with the club name and logo.

The gantry is for use at all their events creating an exciting start or finish as well as promoting the club.

Pictured is the gantry in use at the 'Up the Kirk' National Hill Climb race held on Saturday, September 26, at Blair Logie Kirk, with ClubSport Stirling treasurer Blair Prentice presenting the cheque to some of the Bike Club committee.

Active Stirling's club development officer Hazel Dean said: “This race has attracted entries from all over Scotland for the gruelling short sharp challenge up to Sheriffmuir Road, and is one of many national cycling events that Stirling Bike Club hosts, bringing in visitors to the Stirling area.”
