Easter Egg Run 2008
Press
Release
Issued
by Bury St Edmunds & District Motorcycle Action Group:
BIKERS BRAVE BAD WEATHER
FOR SCOPE
A group of 40 or so motorcyclists riding 27
bikes and 1 trike braved the elements on a wet and windy Sunday the 16th
of March to
 deliver
Easter eggs to the local Scope centre in Shakers Lane Bury St. Edmunds.
The ride out left the Lacey Scott yard behind Bowers Motorcycles and
arrived at Scope half an hour later. They were treated to warming drinks
and a buffet laid on by the staff of Scope . Around 60 Easter eggs were
donated and the local Motorcycle Action Group rep, Herb, passed round an
Easter basket which netted £130. The eggs are distributed to those
attending the scope centre and the local family support unit.
After the warming refreshments the bikers
were given a tour of the centre which offers day and night support for
people with cerebral palsy and their families.
The local Motorcycle Action Group has been
involved with the Scope centre for some years and has held three
Halloween parties that has raised several thousand pounds for them
enabling Scope to purchase equipment for the centre and aloud the
staff and volunteers to take people in their care on outings.
Herb and all the Bury MAG Mad Cow s would
like to thank everyone who turned up some coming from Colchester and
north Norfolk for the run.
