It would be great to see lots of people there to support this worthy charity and while you’re getting your car washed you can treat yourself to a breakfast bap and a cup of tea or coffee.
The club will also be taking part in the upcoming relay at the Belfast City Marathon in May.
Two teams are taking part and raising sponsorship for the Air Ambulance.

These are only the first of many events to help raise money.
As 2017 ended it was great to be able to present a massive £2,000 to the club’s chosen charity from last year, The Community Rescue Service, Portglenone.
The club were so pleased to be able to support such a local and hardworking charity and the club hope that they can raise just as much and hopefully more for this year’s charity.
