Own Yer Bike First Meeting (50)
Wednesday August 14th 2019 Ferguslie Tannahill Centre Own Yer Bike Inaugural Meeting No1.
Today saw the Ferguslie Community Council join forces with “Own Yer Bike” a local group that was set up by Marc Small, himself a community council leader. Who along with their youth members nominated members to positions such as chair person etc as part of their mission statement agenda?
The group have already given away and sold many bikes salvaged and repaired in what could be one of Ferguslie parks local action groups’ success. Only last week the group held an event in and around the Tannahill Centre, that saw a large turnout of adults and children alike, which prompted the Daily Express to splash the story over their centre pages.
Though still in its infancy the group have made contacts far and wide, where they hope to maintain and repair other group’s bikes while their main aim is to get kids off the couch and on their bikes for a healthier lifestyle.
So if you’re looking for a kid’s bike or would love to get involved in any if not all of Ferguslies many groups. You can find Own Your Bike on Facebook, or just pop into the Tannahill Centre for more info and find out what’s going on in your neighbourhood.
