Hi All,

This years Egg Run is coming nearer, Date is still to be confirmed but the 22nd March is looking likely. If any members from outside the Three Shires would like to join us can you please let us know and we will arrange getting a sponser form out to you.

Thanks

Paul Gbel

Paul,

That's my long weekend off work so no problem but if the date changes, can you let me know ASAP because I'll need to arrange time off work

The Date for the Easter Egg Run is now the 23rd March (Easter Sunday), This is due to the availablity of James Toseland andthe South Yorkshire Police.

SEE YOU ALL!!!! 23rd March

Hi Paul, sounds good. I'll let you no cause there's a local one we do so as long on a different day we'll be there (W.P.)

Will be nice to meet up again and let us know when your one is and I know it's W.P always

Goomi please explain 'sponsor forms' aspect. I hate sponsored events as there are too many and so few people to ask each time. Surely an egg run is bring along an egg or two?

Trouble is if everyone turns up with Easter eggs the little beggers will suffer "Death by Choclate."

To date the Three Shires membership have raised over £21,000 for the Sheffield Children's Hospital.

This is my first Egg Run so it's work in progress Basically the Three SHires get sponser sheets and bug there friends, families andwork mates to give some money to the Hospital.

Other riders turn up on the day and hand over money or eggs to the hospital. o if you are riding up from say Oxford for the day just get the branch to put there hand in there pocket and hond the money over to ME !!!! or any Three Shies member to go with the sponser sheet.

But we are more than happy if you just make the effort to turn up on the day. I'v spoken to MCN an Motorcycle mnthly and they are instreseted in running an article on it and if I push them the right way maybe a small donation also.

I think it’s the term “Sponsor Form” that confuses a little as it implies we’ll be doing something over a period of time or length of distance to raise funds, which is not the case unless someone does want to do something like that.

What I did last year was collect money from friends, family and work mates. The forms we used enabled each person who contributed to complete their details and allow the charity to reclaim tax. In effect this meant every £1 collected was worth £1.28 to the Sheffield Childern’s Hospital charity.

Sorry lads nearly 2 inches of snow here in Kettering was the final decision maker for me. Then seeing that even more snow was further north was not risking 200+ mile round trip.

How did it go and did JT turn out in the cold?

Yes he did, Jennie will show you the pic on Wednesday no doubt !!!!!

Hee hee hee... oh boy , yes he most certainly did! and if I could work out how to put the photo on here I would!! It was an incredible event and I was very very honoured to be a part of it all. (Bloomin cold mind you.... )
