Aboyne Bike Park AGM: Your Bike Park Needs You

The volunteers behind Aboyne Bike Park are holding their next committee meeting and AGM at the Men's Shed in Aboyne on Tuesday 8 December at 7:30pm, and they are asking for new people to come along. The poster puts it plainly: "Use it or lose it. Your bike park needs you."

Aboyne Bike Park has been built, maintained and developed through the passion and support of local volunteers and the community. The committee says it is no secret that the last few years have been a little challenging, and that they would love to see some fresh energy, new ideas and new faces getting involved to help give the park the future it deserves.

"Without additional support and volunteers, it will become increasingly difficult to run and develop the bike park. The reality is that if we cannot grow our volunteer base and community involvement, the long-term future of the facility could be at risk. This AGM is your opportunity to help ensure the bike park continues to thrive for future generations."

They are looking for:

• Fresh ideas
• New volunteers
• Committee members
• Local support and involvement
• Riders, parents and community voices

There is no commitment in turning up. Parents, families, riders, local supporters and anyone who cares about the bike park are welcome, whether you use it every week or simply believe it is an important facility for the community. "You don't need to be an expert, you don't need to have loads of spare time, and you certainly don't need to know anything about running a bike park! What we do need is fresh eyes, outside ideas, different perspectives and people who are willing to help in whatever way they can."

"So please, if you've ever enjoyed riding there, taken your kids along, or simply want to see a great local facility continue to grow, come and get involved. You don't have to commit to anything. But ideas are most definitely welcomed."

The bike park is supported by Aboyne Community Trust.
