Full Throttle
Mid-Wilts MAG took the Regional stand to the
Shires shopping centre in Trowbridge, to take part in a fund raising
event organised by to Midlands Bikers in aide of the Air Ambulance
Charity.
|
Mid Wilts MAG displayed their new banner at this show. Despite it
being a fairly quiet day though, we managed to raise £36 for the Air
Ambulance on the day. Some members of the Goldwing owners club turned
up, and one of the ladies from GWR enjoyed a ride around the car park on
the back of one of the Goldwing’s (helmet-less of course!).
Also at the event were stands by the Wiltshire Constabulary and the
Wilts Air Ambulance. Andy Kerr.

BikeSafe Southwest
The regional MAG stand was also at the
BikeSafe Southwest event organised by Avon & Somerset Constabulary,
Somerset Road Safety Partnership and Somerset Council.
|
Despite the inclement conditions and a slow start on the Saturday the
event was well attended. Two clubs asked for affiliation packs, the
Voyagers MCC and Mid Somerset & South Bristol MCC. Assessed rides were
available with the Police Motorcyclists from Avon & Somerset and Devon
Constabularies.
Also in attendance were the Freewheelers EVS, IAM, ROSPA and Somerset
Advanced Riders.

Fred’s Run 2008
Despite the inclement weather predicted for
the weekend of Fred’s Run, the Rain held off and the sun even put in an
appearance.
|
Over two hundred and forty Bikes, Trike’s and Outfits turned up at
Roger and Lyn’s home for the second Fred’s Run in aide of Weston Hospice
Care, which raised over £3000.
The route took the participants up over the Mendips, down thro’
Cheddar Gorge before meandering down to Weston-super-Mare, where after a
lap of the sea front the Bikes parked up on the Beach Lawns.
|
Roger and Lyn would like to Thank all the good folk who helped on the
day and also all those generous people who donated monies to the
Charity.
