On behalf of Jim ROI who is way down to Yarmouth:mad:

Shire Blood Run is an all day event being held at the Blood Bank premises at Aberdeen Roayl Infirmary complex. on Sunday 17 May 2009.
Event kicks off at 11am and is to continue until 4pm, so you southern guys don't have to get up too early but can enjoy a nice ride up to Aberdeen. I would recommend the Coast road not the boring A90 Dueller.

The whole idea is to get as many people to attend and either donate blood:eek: themselves or, have a pillion who can do so. If you don't have a rideable bike take the car (you can take more up that way)!!;)

I have tried to attached a copy of the badge we will be giving to those who donate. We had to change original badge due to PC brigade.:p The badge is now also on Dunedin HOG site www.dunedinhog.com (http://www.dunedinhog.com)

Hence the reason behind the wee door, when he has breathing problems during heavy rain storms, opens the door, water drains, no further problems :D:D...
