Have Business Club will travel

Pars can again catch the bus thanks to 1885 Business Club

The 1885 Dunfermline Athletic Business Club was formed in January 2014 to engage the business community of West Fife and to create a networking group of business people and retired business people who have an affinity with Dunfermline Athletic.

It has proved to be a very successful and engaging platform with many entertaining events taken place, which have already contributed much needed funds for our club.

The 1885 Business Club recently handed over a cheque to DAFC for £10,000 which will cover the cost of our club travelling to all away fixtures next year. 1885 Chairman, Garry Davidson and Vice Chairman, William Braisby are pictured with Managing Director, Ross McArthur handing over the cheque to the club.

The team bus, which will be supplied this season by local firm, Bay Travel, will carry the new 1885 sponsored team coach sign which will be proudly displayed at the front of the bus as it covers the country this season.

Garry Davidson, 1885 Chairman said:-
"The business club has come a long way in a very short period of time and we are delighted that we can again sponsor the teams travel costs for the season ahead. Our thanks must go to all of our members who have contributed and made this a possibility.”

Ross McArthur, DAFC, Managing Director, himself a member of the 1885 Business Club stated :-
“I would like to thank Garry, William and the rest of the committee for their continued hard work in making the 1885 Club such a success to date. Not only does the club attract quality speakers, execute high calibre events but it is a valuable source of fundraising for DAFC.

"Yet again, the 1885 Club has already played a significant part and the new season has just started! Their initiative to cover the cost of the team bus again this year is a fantastic and novel way of supporting our club.”
