A CAMPAIGN has been launched to save a popular Drumchapel social club from closing down.
An emergency funding plea has been launched to save the Goodyear Sports and Social Club (GSSC) which has taken a hit following tough coronavirus restrictions.
A GoFundMe page, set up by Thomas Clark, says the “valued” facility has seen a reduction in usage – like many other businesses across the country – and needs recovery efforts to
bring customers back through the doors.

The process of re-establishing a management committee is currently underway to transform the site by ensuring its immediate future and carrying out essential maintenance.
It is hoped a total of £60,000 will be raised for the Duntreath Avenue site.
The campaign has a long way to go, but it’s off to a promising start with a total of £1740 so far.
Speaking via the GoFundMe page, the management committee said: “We need to raise emergency club capital funds to start this four-stage business recovery journey. We are fully committed to the shared aim of securing the GSSC as a key historical hospitality community resource.
“The Goodyear Social Club is all about positive memories for many local people and families.

Please be part of the club’s emergency recovery by donating and helping us keep the GSSC doors open and getting your social club back to a place that both members and the wider community can be proud to be part of once again.”
