NEW DATE ANNOUNCED FOR DELAYED MOTORBIKE FESTIVAL
A new date has been announced for an annual motorbike event after it was postponed because of hazardous ground conditions.
The Bike4Life Ride Out and Festival was due to be held at Weston Park in Shifnal, Shropshire, on 28 April but was called off after one of the wettest winters on record.
Organisers said the ground conditions could not safely accommodate the 6,000 bikes and 10,000 visitors expected.
The event, which is organised by Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, will now be held on 1 September.
Emma Wood, head of fundraising and engagement at the charity, said: “We want to thank everyone for their patience and their continued support for one of our biggest fundraising events that helps us deliver our lifesaving service.”
Tickets purchased for the original event in April would automatically transfer to the new date while options would be provided for ticket holders unable to attend in September, the charity said.
