There will be a stop at Wallerawang Bowling Club to collect donations before a convoy through Lithgow’s Main Street around 10.30am.

The run ends at the State Mine Museum where the gifts swill be handed over to the charity organisations who have been receiving registrations for assistance.

All motorcyclists are welcome to participate.
Donations can still be made at collection points including the Bike Stop, Readers’ Heaven, Lithgow Glass, Bunnings and Wallerawang Bowling Club.
A spokesperson said the need for assistance is real and donations of gifts for all groups from infants to teenagers as well as non perishable festive food items will be welcome.
Cash donations can also be made at the Mine Museum on Saturday or at the Vinnies or Salvos stores.
