Thank you

We would like to pass on huge thanks to Staffordshire Police, and all our own volunteer marshals for keeping everyone safe & ensuring the parade went smoothly, thanks also to the Britannia Stadium & the Kings Hall for their continued help & support in the staging of the event.

Thanks must also go to the Lord Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent & again go out to the motorcycle shops for their generosity when donating prizes for our free draw which takes place inside the Kings Hall. They were Bassett’s, Bikerz, B S Bikes, D H Autos, Foley Motorcycles, K2, Norman & Birch, and Websters. Thanks to Andy’s Motorcycles and Trent Trophies who support the awards & trophies.

Thank you once again to the local media for its support in coverage of the run in the lead up and coverage of the day itself.

The biggest thanks  though go to everybody who turned out to make the event a success.  Plus of course we can’t forget the generous people from Sainsbury’s who supported the Toy run this year.

BBC News – The Star Bikers Toy Run gathers presents for underprivileged children

“Thousands of bikers swapped their leathers for Santa suits to join in the annual Star Bikers Toy Run.”

“The event, which takes place in the streets of Stoke-on-Trent, sees Santas on motorbikes collecting donations of toys and Christmas presents”

“The presents are then given to Newcastle-under-Lyme social services to distribute to families of underprivileged children.”

“Organisers say the recession hasn’t affected peoples generosity. “

Don’t forget collections are still taking place in local Sainsbury’s stores if you still wish to donate toys to the appeal.
