Hundreds of Scooters Descend on Bolton Pub to Raise Money for North West Air Ambulance Charity
Key Highlights :
Last month, hundreds of scooters descended on a Bolton pub to raise money for an important cause. Local scooter club, Bolton Two Hats, held the event at the Three Pigeons on Wigan Road to fundraise for North West Air Ambulance Charity.
The event was attended by over 280 riders, who all came together to raise money and celebrate their shared passion. Angela Bentley, a member of the club and wife of a committee member, said: “The club has been going for four years, it was set up by a group of friends, and over the last two years it has progressed massively. Members range from 18-70 years old and we go out most Sundays. We are free to join and have over 500 members.”
Angela went on to explain that the club only rides on A and B-roads, not motorways, and that any type of scooter is welcome. She also spoke about the event, saying: “We had an event on August 16, it was a Lancashire Scooter Alliance event, so all clubs in Lancashire take part. We raised money for North West Air Ambulance with a tombola and through donations, raising £1041.70.”
Angela also spoke about her experience of being part of the club, saying: “I have never had a scooter until the last 12 months, and I absolutely love it. Few more family members have joined the club. It is the social aspect, it is surprising how many people look at scooters and think 'I really liked that'.”
Bolton Two Hats meets at the Three Pigeons on Wednesday evenings at 6.30pm, leaving at 6.45pm, and on Sundays from 10am or 11am depending on the day. Anyone interested in joining can join Bolton Two Hats' private Facebook group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1156340564700117/.
The event was a great success and raised a significant amount of money for the North West Air Ambulance Charity. The club is continuing to grow and welcomes anyone interested in joining. If you are looking for a way to meet new people and join a passionate community, then Bolton Two Hats is the perfect place for you.
