Thanks to the hard work of the team \u2014 and the generosity of visitors to the show \u2014 a fantastic&nbsp;<strong>\u00a3588.34<\/strong>&nbsp;was raised for the Poppy Appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sincere thank you goes to all those who gave their time to support the event:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Friday Team:<\/strong><br>Nigel, Billy, Michael, Andrea, Sophia, John, Will, Arun, Jimmy Mac<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Saturday Team:<\/strong><br>Nigel, Billy, John, Mandy, Arun<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was also great to catch up with William and Peter Barton, who kindly called in to say hello and show their support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, it was a thoroughly successful weekend \u2014 raising vital funds, promoting the Poppy Appeal, and strengthening connections within the motorcycling community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well done to everyone involved.<br><br>Article by Tracy Beare, <em>Northern Ireland Regional
