Title: RTTW- Ride to the Wall UK- 2008 View count: 1795 Rating: 4.2 (5 ratings) Description: http://www.rttw.co.uk/ A group of bikes leaving Jack Hill Cafe on the A5 heading for Tamworth services to join the rest of the bikes for the ride. At the memorial there is a wall with 16000 names on, remembering our troops that have died since WW2 through one cause or another. It was noticed that were a large number of younger people in attendance with the service a very moving experience. It was mentioned by those riders attending as something that should be marked yearly, similar to the event held in the United States, but obviously on a smaller scale. One of those riders at the event was Martin Dickinson, Director of Nene Valley Chapter who brought the idea of an annual event up at the HOG UK Directors meeting in late 2007. There was an overwhelming response from his fellow Directors and every encouragement given to plan such an event. After the meeting, offers soon came in to assist with both the administrative side as well as the planning side of the event. This was to be another case of UK Chapter working closely together in planning a single event. The first RTTW UK event will be taking place at the Armed Forces Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum on Saturday 11th October 2008 and raising funds for the upkeep of the memorial. It is hoped that you can join us in remembering those that can no longer ride by our side. This event is open to riders of all makes of motorcycles Tags: hog, invicta, chapter, harley, davidson, rttw, ride, to, the, wall, uk, 2008, armed, forces, national, memorial, arboretum, Author: markjohnlewis |
