Many Thanks again Chris!

I've shared this to just about every bike group I'm in on FaceBook!!!

I note the event isnt listed on the Lincs Heritage website - not very Sporting

(I'll get my coat)

Cheers

Frank, thanks for your help with publicity.

The LAHC website will show details of the event, hopefully by the end of next week latest. We've just to finalise another detail and then we're good to go.

No problem Chris, glad to help.

Just posted your event on the DSC FaceBook page and since I recently received an Email from The Biker Guide, I posted on there too, hope that works!

Best Wishes - Frank

We visited the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre (LAHC) yesterday to finalise details for tomorrow’s event. Part one of their ‘Lanc & Tank’ event was in full swing when we arrived. To give you a flavour of what to expect tomorrow I’ve posted a selection of photos and two short videos on our website.

There’s three tanks in the live firing display, two M24’s and a M36.

A big thank you to everyone who attended yesterday’s event, the turn-out of 230 motorcycles exceeded all our expectations. This total included over 120 Italian motorcycles. The event was blessed with fantastic weather and the Aviation Centre was packed with riders and the public enjoying a sunny Bank Holiday Monday.

See www.imf2018.co.uk for event photos and a video.

The Lincs Italian Motorcycle Festival 2018 raised £766 for Emma's Charity and £1425 for the Aviation Centre.
