A thank you to Barclays Bank

Cardiff AAC has benefited from Barclays Bank's Matchfunding Scheme to the tune of £750 and business manager Sharon Greer visited the club last night to present a cheque to club treasurer Graham Webb.

Sharon explained that the Barclays scheme is specifically designed to help voluntary groups and matches pound for pound what the group itself raises, up to a maximum of £750. She said that she was delighted to help Cardiff AAC and was very impressed with the enthusiasm of the young athletes who would benefit.

Also present was Jeff Gorwill of LWC Drinks Limited who generously donated a hamper of drinks as a prize.
