Mansfield Triathlon Club are the latest sporting group to benefit from a grant from the Armchair Club.

Mansfield Triathlon Club run an active junior section, and offer bike hire to those who don’t own bikes so that they can take part.  The £250 grant will be used to service and repair the bikes for the juniors to continue training.  The club currently owns 18 bikes, with 13 being out on hire to children.  When each annual hire contract ends, the club will get their bikes serviced and in better working order for the following season. Regular servicing is important so that time spent repairing chairs or gears and brakes which take up session time on Saturdays is minimised, thus reducing the time the children miss out on vital training time.
