RADTOY 14 thank you's
« on: December 14, 2014, 12:50 PM »
GUYS a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who came yesterday , a fantastic turn out . the weather was kind yesterday cold but dry ..well until we got to the pub. thanks to everyone who "donated" to a ticket . all 200 gone awsum response. id like if i may just mention a few people who in the back ground help make RADTOY happen .

Firstly id like to mention RADBMX.CO.UK  . "our" website is the best old school site and its here that the rides start , advertising the event and you guys then all jump on board and support the ride. also RADBMX.CO.UK once again made a very generous donation which bought a lot of toys,games,and books.

ALANS BMX shop in Wigan . once again not only did Alan agree for us to use his shop as a meeting place , he gave his full support . and after a bit of teasing came up with a truely awsum "prize" once again showing the true spirit of old school bmx .

ANDY DANCE TO THE DRUMMERS BEAT .... who behind the scene does all the running around , emailing,ringing Wigan hospital arranging nurses and helpers ,ready to except all the toys and games YOU GUYS donate

Carl IN2BMX who provides the decals for the ride , and also allows us to use his works address for any donations sent by post .

Rob YATTY Yates , Rob also did some running round buying presents . a good friend of his wife , a lady called SHELLEY HERRICK who is not involved in the bmx scene in anyway made a very generous donation to RADTOY .

Wigan scooter club who once again offered to escort us bmxers up to the hospital blocking the roads en route making the ride nice and safe .

Geoff "the storm trooper" for the video of the day
/>
The Cherry Gardens PUB who again invite us open armed after the ride . Julie Markey (wsc) who arranged with the Cherry Gardens our chip barms after the ride to warm us up .

id also like to thank personally 3 radsters who traveled a LONG way to join us on the day . Shaun Mark Carter , minus is super hero suit. Disco Stu , and his Spen friend Dave Racine , was great to see you guys and thanks for your support .

RADSTERS its truely awsum the support you ALL give to RADTOY . THANK YOU ...

Quote of the day has to go to Disco Stu . when some one shouted out "chip barms are ready " his reply was ... is that a chip sandwich ?.... proving hes still a southern softie  :LolLolLolLol:

lastly the "winners of the RADTOY GAME .

3 rd place winning a redline flick trix ..173 Dilybum

2 nd place winning £40 of ALANS vouchers ..74  Richie CLEAN

Great event guys, really proud of the effort and work put in by all.

There are times as site admin that I feel down and close to giving it all up, but to be honest when I see things like this happen, it reminds me of the amazing members that we have on this site and why I shouldn't see my small role as a bind/effort, I should and will continiue to see it as a privilege.


Hats off to everybody involved, the radmin team know exactly how much work goes into putting something like this on and we applaude you all.

nice one guys!

loved the vid and the stormtrooper waiting to get served and on the green pk at the end does it for me!

should be proud of that collection of toys for the kids and you've all earned a gold star for being top caring bmx blokes.
how cool is that being escorted by a scooter club, awesome!

bigup t Alan too, i guess he put up the 2 top prizes?

keep it up (the front wheel) and HAPPY BMXmas n stay RAD forever.
