THE hundreds of bikers who faithfully joined in Moorlanders Motorcycle Club’s Easter Egg Run were full of praise for the organisation and safe marshalling of the event.

Despite the wet and windy conditions, the North Cornwall motorbike club’s Egg Run on Easter Sunday was well attended.

The charity motorcycle event, now in its 19th year is held by Moorlanders MCC in association with Widows Sons South West Chapter.

They gathered on Davidstow Airfield Easter Sunday morning to donate £5 and chocolate eggs, before being led on a circular route around North Cornwall.

Their journey took them through Boscastle, up to Bude for a stop at the Lock Gates Tea Room. It ended at Bowden Derra care home, Polyphant, for a barbeque, live music and prize giving celebration of a job well done.

Here, they officially presented Bowden Derra with the wooden gazebo Moorlanders had built from the money raised at last year’s Egg Run.

More than £3,000 was raised on the day, and with collections still to be made, Moorlanders MCC is pleased they will be making worthwhile donations to local children’s charities.

These are Children’s Hospice South West, Action for Children and the Special Needs units of Camelford Primary and St Stephens CP School, Launceston.
