£1,200 raised by Southern 100 auction

£1,200 has been raised from the auction of the Southern 100 Podium Celebration Bottles.

Organisers say the money will be split between the ACU Benevolent Fund and the Irish Injured Riders Welfare Fund, which both assist riders and families when needed.

The bottles and magnums were provided by Foraging Vintners.

Southern 100 Chairman and Race Secretary George Peach, says the club is indebted to Ian Swindells of Foraging Vintners for his kindness in donating podium bottles for fund raising after the cancellation of the 2023 races.
