was organised by the Southport Original Cruisers bike club and took place on November 20th at The Fox and Goose pub, the Southport Visiter reports.<\/p>\n<p>It raised more than &pound;500 for the Help for Heroes campaign and saw bands playing live music to the audience in a four-hour spectacle, followed by a DJ set.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie Brown, chair of the organisation, said of the groups: &quot;They left the crowd physically drained and it was down to Andy the rock DJ to bring them round.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The group recently stripped for the 2011 edition of The Biker Calendar and are donating &pound;1 from every sale to the National Association for Bikers with a Disability charity.<\/p>\n<p>And Help for Heroes will also benefit from the efforts of Bridget King, who has transformed her property into a festive house for children to enjoy &ndash; with money raised from visits going to the cause.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\"
