New BMX clubhouse

Children at Dawley’s BMX club are celebrating after winning the backing of a local Rotary Club which has donated a new clubhouse. The Rotary Club of Wellington were left overwhelmed after hearing a presentation about the success of Wrekin Riders which, despite offering sessions to hundreds of riders a week, did not have a clubhouse or a permanent toilet facility.

Rotarian Brian Richards explains, “The children are being offered such a brilliant opportunity to make new friends, get fit and enjoy a sport with friends and family – and it is solely run by volunteers. We wish the children and adults at Wrekin Riders every success for the future and we look forward to following their journey.”

Kieran Edwards, club coach and chairman says, “We can’t thank the Rotary Club of Wellington enough for the support they have offered us.”
