When each annual hire contract ends, the club will get their bikes serviced and in better working order for the following season.
Regular servicing is important so that time spent repairing chairs or gears and brakes which take up session time on Saturdays is minimised, thus reducing the time the children miss out on vital training time.
The Armchair Club was founded in 1982 when a group of six local businessmen got together to help raise and distribute financial support to the benefit of local sports people.
