Goldwing motorbikes light up the town
Photograph by Patrick Trollope.

DID you spot the neon glowing Goldwing motorbikes riding down Lord Street, Southport, on Saturday, 22 September 2012? The unusual parade which will bring dozens of brightly decorated motorbikes had been organised by the Goldwings Northwest group to help raise funds for Queenscourt Hospice. With strobe lighting and other lights and even lasers, added to the unusual horns and other sounds, this made a very unusual attraction for both locals and visitors to the resort. Despite the short notice, the event attracted a large crowd on Lord Street as they passed by with the thanks of Merseyside Police who gave them an escort, as well as other marches and volunteers, including some Air Cadets from RAF Woodvale. Setting of with both the Lord and Lady Mayor of Sefton they preformed 2 laps of a route that started at New Pleasureland and took in Promenade, Leicester Street, Lord Street, Duke Street, Victoria Way and the Esplanade. The event finished at Prince of Wales Hotel on Lord Street for a static light display, with judging and trophies being awarded. Earlier that day they had held a static display on Chapel Street and that also we have been told proved to be very successful. For more information about the Goldwingers and their fundraising for Queenscourt Hospice, visit the group's website. Lets hope this leads to other ‘light parades' in the future. Pleas click on here to see our short video of some of the action and lots more photographs.  Click on here to see more photographs taken at this event.
