III Rivers UK Chapter Harley-Davidson Owners Group Raising Money for SSAFA on 30 June

14 June 2024

The Three Rivers Motorcycle Club, based in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, will be hosting a fundraising event on Sunday, 30 June to support SSAFA Hertfordshire.

With over 200 members, many of whom are ex-military, the club provides a community for motorcycle enthusiasts to meet, race, and raise money for charitable causes.

The club, named after the Chess, Colne, and Gade rivers that surround it, focuses on sharing their love of motorcycles while supporting important charitable organisations like SSAFA.

Martyn Coote, Director of the Three Rivers UK Chapter Harley-Davidson Owners Group, shared the club’s motivation: “SSAFA was chosen by our members for the outstanding work they do for servicemen, ex-service members, and their families. It received overwhelming support in our vote, far ahead of any other charity.”

Martyn also highlighted the connection many club members feel to the military: “Wearing our club badges and patches is a bit like a uniform. It’s comforting for many of our ex-military members to belong to a group again.”

The bike fest is an exciting event with a £5 entry fee, and free admission for under-16s, making it a great opportunity for the community to support the fundraising efforts of the Three Rivers Motorcycle Club.
