First topic message reminder :

In Memory of a great guy & fellow biker Mat Evans who many of you will remember from BC1 where he very kindly masterminded the tea & cakes for me at Clywedog Dam.
Mat, A fireman and father of a young daughter sadly lost his life doing what he loved best aged 29 at last years TT whilst on his Fireblade.

As a fitting tribute a sponsored rideout of approx 140 miles in total will leave from Plough Garage Pontesbury (which is owned by his father & Uncles & where I worked alongside Mat for many years) to Aberystwyth for lunch on the seafront & back on 9th July which would have been his birthday.
Ellie & myself will attending & if anyone wishes to join us or donate that would be fantastic, All proceeds will go to the Firefighters charity (Mat was a full time member of Green watch at Shrewsbury) & cancer research.

Su Evans wrote:The donations to date have been tallied up and the Ride Out in Memory of Mat has now reached £2,400.00. Always open to more donations*. It was a brilliant day and everything went like clockwork. That was down two brilliant organisers - close friend, Mat Lewis, (who was with my Mat in Isle of Man at the TT) and Sally Barnett (Firefighter/Fire Control). Well done to all and a big thank you to all who supported this event. I have not seen the photo of Mat with kettle before and whoever took the photo caught him just right. Best wishes to all - Su Evans (Mat's mum).
* If you wish please send cheque to Su Evans, Shropshire Fire & Rescue Service, Brigade HQ, St Michael's St, Shrewsbury, SY1 2HJ made payable to either Fire Fighters Charity or Cancer Research UK.

I took that photo Su, and I am touched by your comments. Glad that the event in his memory was so well supported and I will pop a cheque in the post
