Program co-ordinator and coach Ross Henry said the program, which runs on Monday nights, was currently at capacity with 15 members.

Cy left with a parting gift, donating three bags full of cycling kit clothing for the children. “It was appreciate­d by the kids,” Henry said. “He donated quite a bit, he had three large garbage bags full.

“It was a bit like Santa turning up.”
