One of the best motorcycle shows in the country is the Founder’s Day Rally organised by the Taverners section of the Vintage Motor Cycle Club at Stanford Hall, Lutterworth – and each exhibitor is asked to donate a stall item or make a donation to the section’s chosen charity.
This year the section is supporting the Rainbows charity, and after an auction of the collected items at a club meeting on Thursday, October 12, and the money had been counted, members met up on their mainly vintage motorcycles for a Sunday ride to the Rainbows hospice in Loughborough to meet the staff and children and present a cheque for £1000.
The children in the hospice’s care enjoyed watching the motorcycles arrive, and were also allowed to sit on the bikes for photos.
