Akrobaticke druzstvo ku svazarmu Pardubice

Czech to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Announcement on a poster
I am translating a list and descriptions of historical posters for an exhibition catalogue. There are 199 posters in Polish. And then there is one which announces:

Akrobaticke druzstvo ku svazarmu Pardubice

Unfortunately, the description that goes with it relates to the stadium in Poland where the event took place in 1959, so it's of very little help in working out what the poster actually says.

It shows a young lady doing acrobatics on a motorbike. On that basis, I've done some research and suspect that it says something along the lines of:

The Pardubice Svarzam Acrobatic Motorcycle Display Team

but I would obviously like to check with the experts! Have I got the meaning right, please?

I have translated your line, later you have a lady on a motorcycle, so you can, of course, modify it


I would certainly recommend to put the explanation into parenthesis somewhere, otherwise it would not say much to the viewer....my opinion only

.....Thus they deem it unnecessary to establish a branch of the Svazarm (Union for Cooperation with the Army) in their village.
