ORGANISERS are gearing up for the fourth charity party and 'Cream Tea Run' motorbike ride in June to raise money for Hospiscare and the National Association for Bikers with a Disability.

For the fourth year running, the Okehampton Bikers and the SBRC Rally Club will come together for a weekend of fun, live music, friendship and fundraising at Bracken Tor House, which has been kindly provided by John Elson and staff at Adventure Okehampton.

The first night on Friday June 8 will be a relaxing night of food and live music headlined by the winners of the 2011 Okehampton Battle of the Bands, the Monkey Gland Blues Band.

The fun continues the following day with the charity motorcycle ride, with bikers meeting at the London Inn at 11.15am to set off from the pub at noon. The route will take riders over some of the best roads in Devon, with several stops to enjoy the scenery.

For a small donation, the ride is fully escorted by the Okehampton Bikers, and cars are welcome to follow along behind.

That evening, there will be a barbecue, a bonfire and more live music, headlined by Stevie: One Bloke, One Mandolin.

Revellers can enjoy a hearty English breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings to help recover from the fun.

Entrance on each night costs £3 each or £5 for both evenings. There will be a minibus between 6,30pm and 9pm each night taking people to Bracken Tor House for a nominal fee.

A weekend pass to include camping or hostel accommodation and full English breakfasts costs £20 per person camping, or £30 for hostel rooms. The donation to take part in the cream tea run bike ride is £5.

For more details, visit Rockhen's Coop in the Arcade and speak with Janice Elson. All proceeds from the weekend will support the two charities.
