At least 128 motorbikes braved the damp and windy weather and joined the Mary Rose Charity ride on Saturday March 8th. As always they arrived in style and were met by pupils and staff from school and served with hot cross buns and a hot drink. The riders all brought Easter eggs for our pupils and in addition raised at least £360 for our school.
This year our very own pupil, Sean Vick, joined the ride with his Dad. This is the first time one of our pupils has taken part in the actual run and we are so proud of him. Perhaps this is the beginning of new element to the ride and perhaps a few more may be able to join in in the future – now there’s a challenge!
One of the bikers was celebrating his 21st charity ride for East Shore and then Mary Rose School and he received a fantastic cheer.
Many thanks once again for this great team of people who do so much for our school
