Charity Ride-out 2010

The early part of September the Triangle MCC have an annual motorcycle ride-out for different charities nominated by our members.

On previous rides funds have been raised for The Children's Wards at Ipswich Hospital and various other charities.  As this is open to non-members; all riders and passengers are welcome, with the Triangle club members taking on marshalling and route direction roles.

The route is usually around 50 miles in length travelling for the most part on interesting country roads and finishing usually at a point of interest with catering facilities, etc.

Riders group from 9am onwards to enable the first group to get away at 10:30.  Please come and support us and help us to make this a success.

Charity Ride-out 2009

On the 20th September 2009 the club held its 7th annual charity ride-out.  The weather was dry, sunny, and warm.  Starting from the Orwell Crossing Cafe/ Lorry Park and finishing at The Apollo Club at Harleston.   Across the road from The Apollo Club, Lings Motorcycles of Harleston opened up for the riders to visit the showrooms if they wished.  Approx 150 riders left the lorry park in groups from 10.30 am, with club members acting as marshals and group leaders.  The route was approx 50 miles.

The two charities to benefit this year are John LeVay Cancer Care at Ipswich Hospital, and St John's Ambulance.  The cancer charity has requested a piece of specialist  furniture to be made  with your generous donations.  We thank all riders for their donations and taking part, also thanks to everyone who helped to make this event a success.  We would also like to thank  the organisations and businesses involved for their support, donations, and help.

Presentation to John Le Vay Cancer Information Centre

On Sunday the 24th January the Triangle (Ipswich) Motor Cycle Club presented to the John Le Vay Cancer information Centre at Ipswich hospital a specially made display unit. The unit improves the facilities that the centre provides for patients who suffer hair loss following chemotherapy treatment.
