SATURDAY 5th December 2009


You may bring toys, but the Children's Hospice has asked for us to think "Days out throughout the year". If the weather is fine we will have 2 to 3 hundred bikers delivering possibly 6 to 7 hundred presents, that is a lot for them to deal with.

On the days out side, Bristol Zoo Farm will let us have tickets £6 each (see home page) and Bowlplex will do gift tokens.

Bristol Zoo proper do a season ticket for £174 which we will be collecting for on the day and after that the Showcase Cinema do a book of 50 tickets for £220.

So we are encouraging people to bring money, cash or cheques payable to The Children's Hospice Southwest on the day as well. So in answer to your question you may do as you wish, but obviously we do not want to overwhelm them with toys.
