Northumberland Biker's Easter Egg Run

Hundreds of Northumberland Bikers took to the streets of Bedlington today on their annual Easter Egg Run. Several hundred bikers took part in the event collecting Easter eggs to deliver to the local care homes and children's hospitals. What started as an event with around 30 bikes and a couple of hundred eggs has now grown to such an extent that thousands of Easter eggs are delivered with the help of people from all over the country.

The run itself is not the only activity over the weekend, local bands, pubs and independent fundraisers all join in to help support the toma fund with late night partying at the Bebside Inn.

Unfortunately the collected eggs will be delivered to the residents and staff of our regions homes and hospitals for the final time tomorrow. Increasing health & safety legislation, lack of support from local councils and inflating insurance costs have led to event founders Gordon Fitch, Paul Green and Wendy Sears being unable to continue organisational responsibilities.
