Newtownabbey Borough Council have advised annual fee for use of the gallop is now due.
Members are requested to bring existing key to Valley Leisure Centre reception and get new key.
As many members purchased new keys in November /December 2018 the council have agreed a reduced fee this year of 25.
Access to the gallop will only be via the use of the new key from Friday 3rd May 2019.
Can you pass on to any members with no access to a computer

Was there with a few pups this morning .Council cut it last week and the rain has helped the gallop significantly but would need some more before it would.be safe to put racing dogs up it

Folks,
The Council have advised that permanent gate has had to be reintroduced on lane way to gallop as there is issue with health and safety with people accessing gallop via car after 9am .
I have explained issue to council with older members of club requiring access close to gallop but unfortunately all access will now have to be via the two car parks at the Valley .
