Dromara Festival & Bike Week 2004

Good weather brings 59 children to cycling gymkhana

Tuesday the 8^th of June at 7.00 pm saw the annual children’s cycling gymkhana as part of the Dromara Village Festival. A new venue this year was St Johns Church car park. The event was run by the members of Dromara Cycling Club. Before the gymkhana Seamus Downey Cycles carried out a safety check on every bicycle. Each of the 59 children competing had to contest five different tasks, including a see-saw. Each event was timed and there were three winners in each age group. Prizes were given out by the club secretary Trevor Annett. The winners were as follows:

	Age 5-8	Age 9-11	Age 12-15
1^st	Chloe Stewart	James Fee	Alistair Kirk
2^nd	Lewis Gracey	Scott Jess	Nicky Gray
3^rd	Aaron Stewart	Kyle Potts	Michael Rodgers

Many thanks and to our sponsor John Patterson, Versatile Windows, Seamus Downey Cycles of Dromore and to all helpers on the night
