“Things are starting to take shape now but we still have a lot of work to do as a club to make sure that the JFM Haulage isn’t just the first road race of the year, but the best road race of the year.”

A few of the other fundraisers that the club have run recently have also raised significant amounts of money. The sponsored abseil down the front of the Europa realised £3450, despite being a miserable day weatherwise.

Held in the Front Page in Ballymena, the Pub Quiz made the club £3450 and thanks must go to the Stephen Reynolds and Maggie Magee from the bar.
