source: Peterborough Evening Telegraph
Motorcycle enthusiast’s Dave Hammond & Tracy (Tink) Wyatt have formed the Peterborough branch of the Motorcycle Action Group (MAG), which will meet every other Friday evening from 7.30pm, next meeting 25th Nov at the Fox & Hounds in Longthorpe, PE3 6NB.
MAG is a longstanding national organisation that strives to improve awareness of motorcyclists’ needs within local and national government, as well as giving bikers a chance to meet up with like-minded people.
Local groups also hold regular events to raise funds for local good causes. The first Christmas run will be held on the 27th November leaving the Fox & Hounds at 11.00pm taking pet toys/chews to Wood Green, The Animals Charity. All bikers welcome.
Dave Hammond said “The first meeting was a resounding success, with over 40 people attending, including National Campaigns Manager Paddy Tyson”.
Local businesses kindly donated raffle items which raised funds for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. Andy Campion, County Rep for Cambridgeshire Riders Branch kindly received this with thanks.
Dave Hammond is new to the Peterborough area and says that after the success of the MAG Demo ride on the 25th Sept, highlighting EU threats to motorcycling, riders in Peterborough need a branch of MAG so help voice their concerns.
The social and fundraising side of MAG see many events nationwide, and as a local group we plan to bring events back to Peterborough. Everyone is welcome at the MAG meetings, so come along for a chat or join us on a ride out.
