WIRRAL RIDE 2023
BEHAVIOUR

Early in the day at this year's Wirral Ride 3 spare toilet rolls and a large hand sanitiser disappeared from the toilet cubicle. One of our helpers had go out and source replacements. At the end of the day the cubicle operative found the two sanitisers had both been flushed down the toilet!

I am almost at a loss for words.

I find this quite unbelievable and embarrassing in equal measures. Unfortunately, the same fate befell one sanitiser last year but I had hoped this was a one off.

It is difficult to find suitable, economic suppliers and this sort of childish behaviour does not impress and reflects badly on our Group and the other members. The result is, of course, it would be difficult to hire a toilet next year even if we felt inclined to.

WIRRAL RIDE 2023
THANK YOU

I would like to offer my sincere thanks to the small band of helpers at our Wirral Ride. I am most grateful for your flexibility and willingness to get things done. Without people like you rides just wouldn't happen.

Thank you also to those who chose to ride. We hope you had a good day despite the heat.
