East Park going strong

East Park’s junior training nights are still as popular as ever, even with the dark and cold nights drawing in.

Over 20 young riders attended training last week under the watchful eyes of Bob Prince and David White. After training, the kids and parents were treated to hotdog burgers and hot chocolate, thanks to John Whetton and Karen Draisey. The night was rounded off with a great fireworks display.
