Waterford County Council and Go Dungarvan are currently inviting applications from Community Groups to apply for funding to assist with the organisation of cycling themed events during Bike Week 2014 which will take place from 14th to 22nd June.

The types of groups which may apply are community groups, voluntary organisations, schools, sports clubs, active retirement groups, childcare service providers, workplaces or any group that wishes to organise a bike related event on a 'not for profit basis' during Bike Week 2014.

Examples of possible Bike Week events include:

• Guided bike tour of a town/village.  These can be themed, for example, heritage, gardens, or foodie trips.
• Cycles from your school to a local amenity on cycle to school Wednesday (18th June) for bike based games such as treasure hunts and slow bicycle races;
• A midsummer night cycle
• Bike hurley or camogie
• Bike maintenance workshops
• Bike art exhibition
• Bike school art competition, quiz or drama
• Family fun cycle
• Bike fashion show
• Cycling window display competition in local shops

• Fancy dress bike parade

The list is endless!
