When we first found out that the Revenants MCC were holding a fundraising night to the Great North Air Ambulance and our charity we had no idea how successful it was going to be. Their hard work paid off with a great night had by all those who attended. We certainly appreciate the efforts that went into supporting not only us by a charity we work closely with.

Dave Makepeace, Secretary for Revenants MCC, said:

“As a relatively new motorcycle club Revenants MCC were looking for a worthwhile cause to raise funds for. As all long term bikers, and due in part to our own personal ties, we decided that both the Great North Air Ambulance and Northumbria Blood Bikes would be the Charities chosen.

Being our first ever charity night we were so apprehensive how the night would turn out and whether it would be a success or not.

We were totally blown away by the support given both on the night and in preparation for it.

Loads of local business, friends and family, any contact we could think of, came forward with loads of donations to the club for the raffle ran on the night.  The venue was donated from Nelson Village Club and the live music set on the night by “the Neutronz” was also donated.

The place was packed out. We were stunned by the fabulous support from the community and the North East Coalition of Motorcycle clubs.

We were absolutely over the moon to have raised, a total of£1130, and are proud to be supporters of two charities so close to our hearts.”
