LOCAL RIDING GROUPS SPREADS XMAS CHEER AGAIN IN 2008

The Springfield Riders Group is once again spreading some much needed Christmas cheer to a number of children in the Greater Springfield Region, Federal Member for Oxley, Bernie Ripoll announced today.

“Last year was the first time we ran the toy drive and with it being such a tremendous success it was only natural that we continued it in 2008.

“As bike riders in the local region we have always considered ourselves lucky to have our lifestyle and felt it was important for us as a group to help others.

“We are looking forward to providing a little something for those who otherwise might not be in the position to receive much over the festive season” Mr Ripoll said.

If you would like to get involved with this year’s toy drive or would like to donate a present please contact Bernie Ripoll on 3818 3900. The Oxley Electorate office will also be used as a collection point during normal office hours.

“I hope that we will again be able to give a number of disadvantaged children in our local area a Christmas they will remember for all the right reasons” Mr Ripoll said.

The Springfield Riders Group is also involved with the Southport 2 Sydney ride for Cystic Fibrosis on 24 November this year. Anyone wanting to join us for this ride or just join the groups weekly ride on Sunday’s please contact Bernie Ripoll on 3818 3900.
