IN PICTURES: 2023 Bikers Charity Run boosts Salvation Army appeal by more than $6000 after lap of Albany

About 240 motorcycles roared around Albany for a good cause at the weekend as bikers revved their engines for the annual Bikers Charity Run. Organised by the Albany Section of the Vintage Motorcycle Club of WA, the event is now its 37th year, raising more than $6000 for the Salvation Army’s Appeal this year. Organiser Lynton Morgan said he was thrilled the community had shown such strong support, raising significantly more than last year’s figure of $4500. “That was just the cash and monetary donations, there were a few toys still being donated as well,” he said. “Everything went very smoothly on the day, we had really good conditions and the club is always happy to be able to provide great support for the Salvation Army at a busy time of year.” The convoy of motorbikes was led by Santa from the CBD towards Emu Point and then Middleton Beach before returning to the Town Square, where members of the community were encouraged to dig deep for a good cause.
