Largs Thistle F.C are hoping supporters will join them for a fundraising day out on Cumbrae.

The 2015 Sponsored Walk/Cycle around Cumbrae takes place on Sunday August 16. All funds raised will go into the future of the Largs Thistle F.C.

This year, there is an option of either doing a walk around the island with Thistle President Martin Phillips, who carried out the kiltwalk earlier this year, or cycling around Cumbrae with Calum Corral.

The walk is due to begin at the Cumbrae Slip at 11am (ferry time 10.45am). Cycling begins at The Garrison at 1pm. Bikes can be hired from ‘On Your Bike’ on Millport seafront, and an order of bikes has been placed with the shop. Minimum sponsorship is £25. All sponsorship funds should be handed to the club by August 31. In recent years, players, management and fans have all taken part.

And to round the day off, everyone will meet at JG Sharp’s bar in Nelson Street, Largs, for Don McKillop’s barbecue.

Fan Calum Corral said: “It is always a fun day out on the island, and the event is always a popular fixture in the fundraising calendar! What better way to come and get fit, shed a few pounds, and gain a few extra for Theesel!” Sponsor forms are available from okcorral@btinternet.com or from the club committee, and at Barrfields Park on matchdays.
