Meeting together at the start

It is that time of the year again when we have to start arrangements to attend the Wirral Egg Run. This years event is the 29th such run and it is hoped to be the biggest yet.

Members from this club have attended in previous years and seen it grow from a smallish event into the huge spectacle it has become.

The Run has become a highlight for riders of all machines in the North West and it is a day of fun for the riders.

The organisers have worked well with the authorities this year and the event promises to be one of the biggest yet

All types of bikes etc. are welcome

The last year that I attended was 2007 when the number in attendance on the run was believed to be in excess of 7000 machines. Believe me, that is one heck of a sight when you see all the machines parked up waiting to start at New Brighton. Our web-master, Nigel, was a very busy boy with his camera that day.

It was a very good run, being well marshalled and controlled by the Police.

There were enough different types of machines to keep every enthusiast happy just walking around the mustering area, from old relics to warp-factor 8 superbikes,  trikes to scooters, indeed, there were some rare bikes in attendance and it was a joy to see them being used.

The end gathering at the Hospital

Of course the event was held with a view to charity -”The Wirral Egg Run is an annual event which raises money for local children’s charities and donates Easter eggs to hospitalised children.”

For more info please see the event web-site – http://www.wirraleggrun.co.uk.

As usual there will be a run from GoldWings North Wales to the event and details will be added closer to the time in the events page
