Welsh Motoring Writers continued support for Blood Bikes Wales with a £500 donation in June. The donation follows a £500 donation made a year ago.
Blood Bikes Wales has 300 members and operates more than 20 motorcycles. Members are motorbike enthusiasts who deliver blood and other vitally required items overnight or at weekends for NHS Wales when NHS transport is unavailable or committed elsewhere.
Blood Biles Wales members do this entirely free of charge and the organisation is a charity dependent on public fundraising.
The presentation took place at Cruz Cymru 2018 – an annual gathering of both custom and performance cars, fire service, police, other emergency services and road safety organisations. Venue was the Royal Welsh Agricultural Showground at Llanelwedd, Builth Wells.

WMW treasurer Liam Bird Liam Bird joined WMW in 2011 and soon proved to be an asset to the Group.
Former Treasurer Graham Breeze indicated last year that he would like to step aside from the post due to an increase in commitments.
This ensured an orderly hand-over to allow Liam to settle into the role this year. Liam is a well-respected motoring writer contributing to a number of prestigious titles.
WMW chairman Huw Thomas said: “Many at WMW have known Denis Chick all our working lives and know how much he has done for us individually and collectively. We are delighted now to have him with us as a patron.
