The club was saddened to hear of the death of Bertie Lowrie on Monday, after a long illness.
Bertie was a good friend of long time club chairman Bobbie Magreechan, and although not an active cyclist himself, he regularly helped out with marshalling and driving duties at club and open events. He was also a member of the Ards CC Road Safety quiz team, that won their local heat and got through to the regional finals in the late 1980s, helping enhance the reputation of the club in the wider community.
Ards CC pass on their condolences to the family circle.
