‘Suds’ Car Wash

Filed under: Fundraising — admin @ 2:37 pm

Now there’s no excuse for driving around in a dirty motor, even if you can barely afford to fill the tank!

The new ‘Suds’ carwash at Mourneview Park will be run by lifelong Glenavon supporter Mark Gregg whose son Ryan incidentally is the captain of the Glenavon Under 12 team.

The opening times for ‘Suds’ will be

Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm
Saturday (close season) 8am – 4pm
Saturday (playing season) 8am – 12pm
Sunday Closed

If the venture is a success ‘Suds’ will make a monthly donation to the parent club.

It is in everyone’s interest therefore that this works out as this will be added income that Glenavon currently don’t have so please support this venture, tell your friends and family and keep those motors clean!
