Santa Toy Run - Shrewsbury

Today started early for the family as we were doing the Toy Run in Shrewsbury this is an annual run in aid of the Children's Ward at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, participators bring presents for the Children. the event is organised by the Rainbringers Motorbike Club.It is a terrific thing to be involved in. We did the event last year with Rockin and enjoyed it so it was a pleasure to be involved in the event again.
We all got in the car and headed to the garage to collect Rockin, Kellyn was very excited as he was in the Co Drivers seat again.


First job once we got to Shrewsbury was to go for breakfast. after we had eaten and fuel Rockin Daddy and Kellyn headed to the square in town and Ceienna and i parked the car. We walked from Castle Fields into town and all we could hear echoing through the medieval streets of Shrewsbury is the roar of bikes. The Square was packed from front to back with bikes it was a magnificent sight.
After we all met up again under the old Market hall, we had a look around the bikes. There was everything there including Bandits, Harley Davidson's, Ninjas ( One of my Favorites ), Goldwings, Vesper's, and a collection of a few Vintage bikes.





Playing under the archways of the old Market was a absolultly fantastic band.





There was a few people in fancy dress , Including a fluffy Yellow Chick a teddy and scooby doo. Not forgetting this chap.
Ceienna enjoyed listening to the sounds of the engines and looking what was around her.



There where as ever lots of people having their photos took with Rockin so we decided to do the same.




12 o' Clock came it was time for the riders to get on their bike and take a drive through the town and deliver the presents. Crowds lined the roads from the Square they where all clapping and cheering a wonderful sight. as the band played the riders out.
Cant wait till next year.
