AROUND 300 bikers will descend on North Lincolnshire next month to help raise funds for the Disney Ward at Scunthorpe General Hospital.

The group will be cruising throughout North Lincolnshire collecting cash, Easter eggs and toys to help benefit the Disney Ward at Scunthorpe General Hospital.

The motorcycle convoy will feature Harley-Davidsons, Pathfinder scooters and a host of other sports bikes.

The event is the brainchild of Scunny Bikers Club's Andy Ruddock, who held the first one last year, which was supported by around 50 bikers.

He said: "The event was a huge success last year. We wanted to try and make it an annual fundraiser.

"I chose to do the event for Scunthorpe General Hospital because that is my local hospital and I wanted to do something to benefit the local community and local children.

"I am expecting between 200 and 300 motorbikes, trikes, scooters and mopeds to join for the ride, which is open to anyone with any type of bike, and there is no entry fee, just show your support."

The Old Farmhouse pub has donated it's car park and all proceeds from the ball pool there are going to Disney Ward.

Five live bands will entertain the crowds from 9.30am and will be playing throughout the day.
