The Sunbury BMX Club enjoyed a day of family fun last weekend to wrap up what had been a difficult year for the club.
Members gathered at the club to celebrate the festive season, with Santa in attendance spreading some cheer and handing out some presents along the way.
As well as being unable to hold events due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Sunbury BMX Club suffered a further blow in February when two of its bikes were stolen.
But thanks to the kindness of a former member who donated some bikes and a $2000 grant from the state government, the club was able to replenish its stocks for next year.
Club president Shawn Hindmarsh said he was glad to see families from the club get together and enjoy each other’s company after a challenging year of isolation.
“Big thanks to all the people behind the scenes that made not only today but every event this year come together and work so seamlessly,” he said.
“Thank you to all our riding members, their parents and family that came along, we hope you all had a fantastic day and we look forward to seeing you all next year.”
