No disrespect intended or implied but.................
is there any other group of people that have been approach / informed like this e.g car clubs, scooter clubs etc that are also giving, i know that family and friends do send parcels to keep our boys and girls going, god knows this government dont give a flying fig about them, send them out with-out proper kit etc
Every-one needs to support our troops out there, nearly every man, woman and child knows of some-one who is doing a valiant service out there but it just seems that when-ever anything is needed bikers are one of the first to be approached, maybe its because they know we give a shit but this government needs to do some-thing more than just sitting on its arse.

Anyway a parcel has been put together this very morning, i hope that who ever gets it likes fudge, socks and johnsons baby powder (hope they dont get mixed up on route!:eek::D)

The Royal British Legion Riders Branch have been supporting S.O.S and Help For Heroes right from the start. As far as I know they didn't need to be approached. :)

Anyway, I are busy this weekend at a local club rally so I shall be giving a box of goodies to our local S.O.S. collector.

he is signed up with the sos to recive the parcels & they send extra out for him to pass on to other troops,

David H , thanks for the parcels again. Got 2 more yesterday and 8 from SOS. I gave 7 away to the lads and they were more than happy with them.:thumbu:
