At yesterday's meeting of the sports committee (Tuesday, May 19), a unanimous decision was made to subsidize two sports clubs for the purchase of new sports equipment.

The Rhönrad division of Allgemeiner Turnverein Aachen 1870 e.V. is receiving a grant covering 25 percent of the cost of purchasing two new Rhönrads. The equipment is needed for the upcoming nationwide competitions. According to the current quote, the total cost amounts to 4,591.02 euros. This results in a grant of 1,147.76 euros.

The senior soccer division of S.C. Grün-Weiß Lichtenbusch 1949 e.V. is also receiving a 25 percent grant. The grant supports the club’s own construction of a mobile soccer-billiards facility. This is intended in particular to offer the “old boys” (over 60) the opportunity to remain physically active. At the same time, the facility also provides a varied addition to training for the youth teams. The total cost is 1,309 euros, so the grant amounts to 327.25 euros.
