November 18, 2012 at 5:24 am #232587whats the toy run involve

but if not is there any unregistered events coming up? thanks.November 18, 2012 at 5:30 am #232602Sounds like a good day for a great cause. I will do my best to get there Pete
November 18, 2012 at 5:47 am #232588Rego`d vehicles only Alex, it is a ride from Stockton to Newy Foreshore to deliver toys, donations to the Salvation Army dropoff area. Many of the participants dress in XMAS cheer, decorate their bikes, take kids as pillions and strap toys to their bikes as well.
I think there were close to 10,000 bikes last year and $75000 raised
It is a national event with dates in different locations (some coincide like Newy & Port Macquarie & tamworth last year)http://www.toyrun.org.au/index.php?page=newcastle
Last year some of us met on the Industrial Hwy and rode in together, meeting FourtyFour on the last road into Stockton,,
Will most likely do similar this year,, meet point & time will be announced closer to the day for those interested in tagging along as a group.November 18, 2012 at 5:56 am #232611oh wow thats awesome!! missing out on this one though
November 28, 2012 at 9:24 am #232589Any further thoughts for this Sundays Toyrun ??? Riding in as a group ???
I`m gonna try & grab some antlers before the weekend :laugh: Too flami` hot for a Santa suit :whistle:I`m thinking of getting to Stockton by 9.30 this year,,, it was jammed packed last year & we were lucky to get in just before the troops started riding off
November 28, 2012 at 10:27 am #232973Im keen to meet up Eags.

Getting there by 9:30 shouldn’t be a problem.PTW
