We've talked about this with so many of you wonderful people that we see here week in week out, we've been working on it for the last few months and now it's time, so here we go...
To kickstart the build, all being well in March 2019 we’re looking to raise £150,000 through this crowdfunding scheme on our website. From early stages of coming up with the ambitious expansion plans we knew it wasn't going to be cheap. Admittedly we weren’t anticipating the costs to come in quite so high and it is still happening but, if this is a success it will take a huge amount of sweat and stress out of raising the total amount needed.
There's range of ways you can be part of the crowdfund, from £20 to donate a Yorkshire stone towards building a dry stone wall, membership discount cards to pre-booking one of the swish new double/twin ensuite rooms for £100.
There's loads of information across on the website so please go check it out, if your minded to jump on board with our journey we'd be properly stoked.
Fingers crossed
Stu, Bren and the Dales Bike Centre Team🤞
