SATURDAY 3rd December 2011
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.
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.
