The 'Yolks on You' Egg Run.
Caldarium M.C.C.
have been doing their Egg run ‘Yolks on You’ for Nine years
now, the very first being April 2000. 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 Trike's
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, Barnardo's 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 £23,574 and delivered
over 10,579 Easter Eggs and 4,670 cuddly toys.
Caldarium M.C.C. would like to say a big thank you to the CO OP
for donating all the Easter eggs plus a thank you to all our
other supporter of the egg run and our other events.
