Jolly Crofters Fundraising Team

21st November 2010

Today and yesterday, the team was present with vehicles, team members and our full exhibition display at Horwich RMI Social Club, where Susan Rigby, a local photographer, was holding a two day ’Wheels and Motion’ Charity Event, with proceeds from the sale of her excellent photographs at the event in aid of Bolton Mountain Rescue Team, The North West Air Ambulance, and Help for Heroes.

This was the second local exhibition of Susan Rigby’s photographic work, concentrating on the local motorcycle scene (with many taken on the local moorland roads), the Isle of Man TT Races and the British Super Bikes.

Susan arranged for a great many other attractions at her event, including displays of motorcycles.

Susan spoke to our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE about this weekends event, with the happy news that a large sum of money had already been raised at this event for the charities she is very kindly supporting, with some associated events still to take place before Susan announces her final total raised for the three charities.

Susan kindly allowed us to directly collect at this weekend event, with £13.00 raised from impromptu donations to the team.
