We have been invited to have stand at this years Haltwhistle Carnival on Saturday 11th July. While this is a week long carnival the main parade and show take place on the Saturday staring at 1100hrs. We have been invited to take part in the parade if we wish but I am advised the pace of this is very slow (slow walking) so would be feet down all the way unless your on a trike. The main focus though will be on helping John Dickinson in setting up and running a stall, all the usual things promote the legion in general and the Riders Branch in particular, have a display of bikes, raise some funds for the Poppy appeal etc. Unfortunately I am not available that weekend but am hoping a number of people will put their hands up and assist.
