GMST recently had a meeting with the Ardgowan Football Development Club
based in Wemyss Bay. The purpose of the meeting was to explore ways in which the Trust could
support the development of football in the Wemyss Bay area.
Ardgowan Football Club was started by parents who recognised that there was a
requirement in the area for after school activities for young boys in the Wemyss Bay area, and thus
the club was born. From a fledgling start, and with a grant from both the National Lottery and
Inverclyde Sports Council, the club now has approximately 140 members ranging from 5 years old up
to 18 years old.
They have ambitious plans for the future and are hoping that they can strike
up a relationship with GMST which will lead to future sponsorship. Well, you never know Trust members,
with the club colours blue and yellow I would say that they are 50% of the way there to being
sponsored by GMST! Look out for further updates.
