Salvation Army Toy Run 2010
The Club will be meeting at Bolton Services (Southbound) on the M61 for a 9am departure on Saturday to ride together to the mustering area at the Showcase Cinema, Hyde Road, Manchester.
The annual Salvation Army Toy Run will take place again on the 6th November commencing from the Showcase Cinema Hyde Road (M12 5AL) and terminating at the Trafford Centre. There will be a breakfast from 9:00 am with assembly at 11:00 am and leave at 11:05 am. A presentation of toys and a short carol service will take place at the Trafford Centre on arrival. All the toys donated are used to help brighten up the Christmas of needy children across the North West. Donations are used to buy new gifts for childern who might otherwise not receive a toy this year. For full details have a chat with our very own Jim Cretney who has been involved with providing marshals for this event for some time.

Jim told us last week that he is THE lead marshall this time, so he hopes to avoid last year’s problems caused by having several different chiefs. He also plans to ride right through the middle of town again, like we used to.
I volunteered to help him with marshalling (only static – he’s having no moving ones). Maybe others would like to offer their services?

Hello everyone, had a meeting with Police at Salvation Army HQ LAST MONTH police have given thumbs up for proposed route, the route is on army web site,GMP have said they will not supply any police outriders therefore we will have to proceed with static marshals. On the day I will need volunters to marshal so dont be shy. Marshals will be taken to their positions 20 mins before the start of the parade and join in at the back of the parade. Hope to see you all soon Jimmy
