The 'Yolks on You' Egg Run.

 

Caldarium M.C.C.  have been doing their Egg run ‘Yolks on You’ for eight years now, the very first being April 2001. Caldarium, based in Oxford invite Bikers from all over the U K, we have had visitors from as far a field as Northern Ireland and The Isle Of White, asking them to bring along a donation of an Easter Egg or suitable toys and books or even a monetary donation, to meet up together in a designated spot and ride out to Local Schools and Hospices for Children with Special Needs and personally deliver said Eggs and Books and Toys. The Children seem to get a great thrill from meeting the Bikers, looking and sitting on the Bikes and Trikes and greeting the ‘Giant Pink Rabbit’ and of course receiving all that chocolate.

 

The Places we support at the moment are: Bardwell School in Bicester, Barnard’os in Abingdon and Viking House in Northway (Oxford).

 

At the end of the day we retire back to the Pub and have a party, to say thank you to the participants and to fleece them for their pennies. The raffle is our big thing in the evening, the prizes being donated by generous local business and we would like to mention that 300 of the Easter Eggs have been donated by the CO-OP this year and in previous years. And the money we raise then gets divided up between the Children’s Homes and Hospices.

 

So far Caldarium have donated over £21,000.00p and delivered over 10,000 Easter Eggs and 4,300 cuddly toys.
