Largs Thistle are hosting their AGM within their hospitality cabin at Barrfields Park on Thursday 11 August, starting at 7.30pm.

And three days later, the Largs Thistle Community Club are hosting the annual Thistle Tour of Cumbrae on Sunday 14 August.

It will follow the same format as last year's event where supporters, players, management and committee come together and have the option of walking around the 10.5 mile circumference of Cumbrae, or cycling.

The event is in its fifth year after having been launched by 'News' reporter Calum Corral, and has raised thousands of pounds for club funds over the years.

The 2016 fundraiser will be raising funds for Largs Thistle Community Club, which hosts all teams from youth right up to adult level at Barrfields Park. For sponsor forms, email okcorral@btinternet.com

Calum commented: "The event has always been great fun over the years, and is open to all the family, and while it is always a case of 'Bring Me Sunshine', we hope that there is a good turnout to support the Largs Thistle Community Club which has done so much to promote football at all levels in Largs. It is always a great atmosphere on the island, and something to look forward to, putting the fun into fundraiser! So make sure you wear your Largs Thistle gold and black strips, hats and scarves for the big day!"

* Largs Thistle are intending running a bus to their friendly encounter with Jeanfield Swifts in Perth on Saturday 30 July. Details about seat reservations will appear in next week's paper.
