Bath bikers ride the storm

Motor bikers from the Bath classic motorcycle club roared into Poole on their annual lifeboat run on 7 June.

The club holds an annual lifeboat run to different stations around the South West region and this year it was Poole’s turn.

Despite the typical lifeboat weather, 60 motorcyclists revved into the station. All sorts of bikes were on display – vintage, classic, and not so new – all parked alongside the station.

The motorcyclists were invited to have a look around the station, climb onboard the lifeboats and meet the crew over a cuppa. They didn’t come empty handed either – a cheque for £500 was presented to the lifeboat station.

Volunteer Coxswain Jonathan Clark said: ‘We enjoy the bikers making the effort to come and visit us, especially on a day like today.’ He added: ‘The money will be put to good use – £500 will pay for a new lifejacket for an all-weather lifeboat crew member.’
