Freewheelers is delighted to learn that the Bridgwater Chapter Harley Owners Group has chosen us as their charity to support for 2011.

The Chapter is part of H.O.G. (Harley Owners Group), a worldwide organisation with well over one million members united by a common passion for the Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Bridgwater Chapter was formed in 1990 and currently has over 450 members, mainly in the South West but with a number countrywide. As well as enjoying their motorcycles, they like to put something back into the community and always raise money for charity every year. Since their formation over 21 years ago, they have given many thousands of pounds raised through sponsored rides, raffles and other activities to local and national charities.

This year a shortlist of suitable charities was given to members and the winner of a raffle to raise charity funds, picked the Freewheelers. Bridgwater Chapter Director Gill Mogg said how delighted she was that the Freewheelers had been chosen, because members were well aware of the vital work that the organisation carries out. She also said that she hoped the Chapter could also provide practical help to the Freewheelers by using their Harley Davidsons for publicity purposes if required.

Funds raised during the year will be presented to the organisation at the Chapter annual General Meeting in November.
