Aim : to raise loads of money for Magpas
This will be done by selling rideout T Shirts or by donation
Please come help us raise money for this fantastic charity
It was the brain child of Ash's workmates to do something
to remember / honour this sadly missed man who had
made his mark in all our lives. The second, equaly important
task was to try and raise money for Magpas, who do a
fantastic job and rely on donations to provide a life saving service.
So ...... the memorial rideout was born, a date was chosen
Hunstanton the destination, so the wheels were set in motion.
One idea was to print T shirts which would have a two fold objective
1 : T Shirts could aid raising money
2 : Make us stand out whilst on the ride
West Norfolk council were contacted and asked if they
could help out with parking - they gladly helped out.
Many thanks to Linda and the Hunstanton resort services team.
The 10th was just round the corner ......
would the weather be on our side ?
Hell yes !!!! it was a cracking sunny morning, what a result !
Wheelfit staff turned up at the new premesis for 9am, then things
just improved from there. Bike upon bike kept turning up, 30 - 50
was the initial target going on T shirt orders.
At around 10am all shirts were sold out and a bike count
totalled 100+, what an amazing turn out !!!
We also picked up a group of Harley's from Ely
so around 120+ bikes headed up to Hunstanton.
Initial estimates put the money raised at £800+.
So a BIG thank you to everyone, riders, people who donated,
who helped out. A great day had by all.
Here are a few pics of the event.
