THE BLACK RAT RIDEOUTThe Black Rat Fund is holding a Black Rat Rideout which will take place on Sunday, 19 September 2010 in Catterick Garrison The biking community in the UK has consistently shown incredible support for the Armed Forces. Events such as the Allied Memorial Remembrance Ride, the Mother’s Day Ride through Wootton Bassett, and the mass gathering at the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas, Staffordshire all clearly illustrate the biking community’s desire to show their solidarity with, and respect for serving, veteran, wounded and fallen members of the Armed Forces. We at the Black Rat Fund would like to ask you to join our Black Rat Rideout to help support the serving soldiers of the Black Rats, as well as their immediate families. http://www.blackratfund.org/Rally.html
