Motorcyclists saddle up for Salvos pre-Christmas toy run

THE annual pre-Christmas Mid North Coast Motorcycle Ride and Charity Event will roll through the Camden Haven and on to Port Macquarie on Saturday, 28 November.

“The toy run is about spreading some Christmas spirit,” said NSW HOG Chapter director and secretary, Justin Owens.

“We’re asking the community to help us put smiles on the kids of the area by raising funds for the Salvation Army.

“Financially, it’s been a tough year for a lot of families. This is when we give them some joy to start the holiday season.”

Riders will meet at Laurieton United Services Club’s main car park at 10am for a briefing.

At 11am, riders depart for Westport Park in Port Macquarie for a Salvation Army BBQ, with proceeds going to the local Salvos.

The park will also be the Salvation Army’s collection point for toys, gift cards, donations of non-perishable food, and donations of money. Card payment facilities will be available on site.

For more details, contact  the Salvos’ Major Peter Gott on 0403 051 621 or email peter.gott@salvationarmy.org.au, or Justin Owens on 0402 978 618 or justinpowens@hotmail.com
